Now how he got these items or what he plans on aiming them at he&#8217;s leaving a mystery but I have a feeling Cupid is about to fall head over heals for the Kraken&#8230; Today might not be the best day to be a cherub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Making of Glen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted very badly to have Glen wearing heart-shaped granny glasses today but I wanted them to be translucent like real sunglasses and I could NOT find online how to do this! So I had to make something up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basically I took the watercolor brush, warped the opacity, and painted a nice square over Glen&#8217;s face. I then took the eraser and drew two hearts, erasing everything around them, and using a red water color brush to highlight the rims. I then moved them around to the best position on his face before drawing in the nose and ear pieces. I&#8217;m happy with the result but I feel like there was probably a LOT easier way to accomplish it. I have to get back to trying to learn more illustration skills. I feel like I am not finding everything I need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also made the  background with heart decorations but it came out WAY too bright and seemed to be too distracting (seen below) from the over all image so I again took that pink watercolor brush and washed the whole thing out. I am satisfied with the results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1250\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/glenthecaterpillar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/cupidbright.jpg?fit=840%2C420&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/02\/cupidbright.jpg 2500w, https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/02\/cupidbright-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/02\/cupidbright-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/02\/cupidbright-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/02\/cupidbright-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/theophanesavery.com\/glenthecaterpillar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/02\/cupidbright-2048x1024.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I guess Glen has had a far more turbulent love life than I have previously thought as he&#8217;s in a bit of a vengeful mood today &#8211; hunting Cupid with his own bow and arrow.
