Last time around, I made something kind of stupid that didn't require a tremendous amount of effort. This time, though, I've made something kind of stupid that took a lot more effort. Behold, Goldy Gopher as Bob Dylan on the cover of 1966's Blonde on Blonde:
If there is any justification for this week's selection, it's that it's the homecoming game. After all, Bob Dylan is probably the most famous University of Minnesota participant. More than anything, it was an idea I just liked because it has an obvious place to put Goldy.
A few notes: I drew this all with a stylus in GIMP 2, using the ink tool. (That's how most of these will be made from here on out.) I kept Bob's scarf the same but changed his coat to maroon. There wasn't a perfect way to pull off the hair, but I think I basically got it right enough. The original cover features a photo that's out of focus. The way I tried to replicate that is by duplicating Goldy a couple times, and then blurring and offsetting the two new layers on top. They are mostly transparent in the final product, but the effect is most visible on the scarf and Goldy's eyes. The block M, as well as game information, is located in the top left corner, where Columbia's logo normally would be.
