Strivfe - "COASTAL HIGHWAY" Title Card (Patreon)

As previously mentioned, I'm being commissioned to paint title cards for songs on a new album by my old friend Steve Ventresca, aka Strivfe, who I've previously animated music videos for when I was in college (and developed EEnE fanprojects with in high school, lol).  I think this was the second of the digital paintings I did, but it's the first one he released so here we go!  I was able to find the song here on Soundcloud, enjoy!

These title cards are based on the title cards  that play before AKA Cartoons (Ed, Edd n Eddy and Brothers Grunt), so many of them include direct inspiration from specific title cards.  This one includes references to 'Run For Your Ed' and 'Hot Buttered Ed'.  Those shows' original title cards were painted manually by the incredibly talented Kathy Boake W and I hope my digital paintings can do them any justice!

Here's the painting without text, followed by my original concept art:
