Political Party T-shirts

I just complete a couple of new T-shirt designs for the election season. One for each party.  Both are available from my Zazzle shop in a variety of styles and colors.

Real Vampires Wear Capes

'Tis the season! The Halloween season that is and I've decided to create a spooky new design for my Zazzle shop.  The design is something I've had fluttering around in my noggin for a while. It's inspired a bit by the old Batman logo.

Originally I had some different ideas for what to have it actually say. I was knocking around "Team Bela" for a while as sort of a joke on the "Team Edward" "Team Jacob" thing from the Twilight movies and a referance to Bela Lugosi, who played Dracula. Then, recently, I came up with, "Real vampires wear capes." which I like a lot better. It works as a declaration of love for the classic Dracula movies and that style of vampire, while also still serving as a subtle jab to the Twilight movies and their many blood "sucking" knock offs.

 It's available as a T-shirt and a Mug, both available in a bunch of different styles.

Win The Trophy Avatars

These are some Avatars that I designed for Win The Trophy about a couple of years ago. Since I've got a Characters section on my website now, I decided to add them to that portfolio.

Shrimp Sketches 2

So waaaaaay back in June I posted some sketches that I did for a freelance project, I was doing, in which I was designing a shrimp mascot for a clothing line.  Anyway, I did quite a number of sketches to get the look of the shrimp down.  This is the last three rounds of sketches.

With these five sketches I was attempting to make the shrimp have more of a cooked shrimp shape, based on the request of the client.

 The cooked shrimp idea was the right direction but it needed to be a little more stylized. It needed to be a little simpler too, so that it would work well on clothing.  The client decided that they liked the one with the Popeye style arms but wanted me to work on improving the face a bit.

So, I came up with these final five designs and both myself and the client agreed that #1 was the best.

Next time I will post the final Illustration of the Jumbo Shrimp.

Eustace Consulting: Anna

I Just recently finished a brand new character for Eustace Consulting based on their newest team member, Anna. You may or may not have seen the previous set of characters Right here. This illustration is, of course, done with the more detailed rendering much like the previous characters. I'm definitely getting more comfortable with that style now. It also helps that I've upgraded my version of Adobe Illustrator which allows for transparencies on gradients and therefor makes blending them together, much easier.
