#160 My Mascot Design for HKCEXP | 给香港虛擬貨幣交易所设计的吉祥物

##
How’s it going my Steemit friends? Any plans for Friday night? I’m having a cold here, and I noticed it’s the last day for the Mascots Design Contest, hosted by @cryptoast for HKCEXP. So it’s great for me to do some drawing at home instead of going out tonight.

HKCEXP is a Hong Kong-based exchange platform that is about to launch next month. And @cryptoast was started by @htliao to showcase Blockchain projects with bounty programs. If you are interested in blockchain, make sure to follow these accounts, plus they host airdrop events and contests regularly!

Steemit的朋友们大家好！不知你们周末有什么打算？我感冒头晕在家歇着，所以周五晚也不出门，正好来画点东西放松一下～参加@cyptoast和HKCEXP香港虛擬貨幣交易所合办的吉祥物设计活动。对虚拟货币感兴趣的朋友可以关注他们（上面英文部分有链接），还会有丰富的空投和竞赛活动哦！

活动要求设计的吉祥物为一对金色和枣红色的马，并带有HKCEXP的logo。

这里分享了我的创作过程 - 最后做了两个版本：一个是全手绘，包括我自己写的HKCEXP字样和简化的五角星⭐️logo，另一个是融入了原始的logo。你觉得这对情侣马怎么样？更喜欢哪个版本呢？欢迎留言告诉我～ =)

Now let me show you how I made the mascot design. As required by the contest, participants are to design a pair of horses in gold and burgundy colors, with HKCEXP logo in them. You can do that with software or hand drawing.

I’ve always enjoyed drawing and coloring by hands. The process calms me down. So I chose to make a sketch and color it with pencils. As the star logo of HKCEXP looks pretty complicated, I simplified it in my sketch version.

And in order to keep the same branding, I also did a version with the original logo in. So I kind of combined both hand drawing and software to make 2 versions of the mascot.

After I finished coloring, it looked like this:

So I first uploaded it to my laptop and blended in the original logo:

After that, I went on drawing with pencils to add the “HKCEXP” and the simplified stars:

So that’s it for my designing process. Do you like these mascots? Which version do you prefer? Tell me in the comments please! :)
