Your Fly Is Down Shirt

I had a little extra time this week so I was able to participate in the Shirt.Woot.com derby.  This week's theme is, awkward situations.  So, I came up with this one involving a fly with his fly down. I'm the cleverest, aren't I?

Hardbodies Bully Sketch

Sure you'll watch the 1984 film Hardbodies for the excessive nudity but you'll keep watching it for this guy.

TV Series Presentation

Recently, I was commissioned to produce these two pages of sequential art to be used in a student's presentation of a TV series. Each panel represents a different episode in the series.

Superhero Penguin

 

A couple weeks ago I posted a rockstar penguin character that I designed for Red Dawn Party.   Several months after designing that character for them they returned requesting a superhero penguin character.  They basically wanted the same penguin but dressed like a retro superhero.

 

The costume didn't change too much from my initial sketches.   I wanted to keep it pretty basic so as not to stray away from that retro superhero look.

 

I did multiple mask sketches.  There were a lot of directions we could go with it. It was eventually decided that the mask would be in the shape of a "W" to go along with the product it would represent, The Wownie, a relaxation brownie.

After  working out the details on the costume I did multiple sketches for possible poses to illustrate him in.  They decided to go with the classic superhero stance with a flowing cape.  In the final illustration I brought the cape down a bit and added some raster dots to tie it into the comic style graphic design on the product packaging.

Small Sketches

These are a couple of small sketches I did in a small sketchbook. My sister gave me these little sketch books and they're rather fun to sketch in.  I really like the way the sketches turn out.  I think when I'm sketching in a larger sketchbook I have a need to fill all the space on the paper.  So usually there would be a lot of little sketches or doodles, like these, that fill up the page but when I'm doing it in a tiny sketch book one little sketch takes up the whole page and it becomes it's own little drawing without all the extra clutter. It's really quite fun.
