Threadless Design

After a few inane conversations regarding the role each animal would play in the event of an animal world war, I decided to sketch up a few spin off designs based on the ridiculous discussion.

I've always loved planes and have always thought giraffes to be one of the funnier/more interesting animals (next to penguins of course) out there so decided that if any animal was to have the role of fighter pilot it would of course be the giraffe.
So after a few iterations on Photoshop I went back and drew out the design by hand using Indian ink on standard printer paper which I later scanned back in to Photoshop (to get that hand drawn quality.) After a few hours over the course of a few days choosing colors and fixing tangents I finally arrived at a design that I found pleasant to the eye and charming enough for print.


This design is up for scoring on Threadless for the next 7 days, so show your support for giraffe fighter pilots by heading over the link below and giving it a few 4's and 5's so that I may get this printed for all to wear. :)

Fish Bot

While still at the academy I was assigned to design a few characters that would be considered 'super heroes'. Admittedly I forgot about the assignment and conjured up a few sketches minutes before it was due.

Since it was a character design class gearing more towards fictional cartoon types I went for a design that would ultimately be appealing and funny to myself.

Thus Fish Bot was born! He is a gold fish in a robotic suit ready to kick ass and take names. And chew bubble gum.

Although Fish Bot grew popular with myself and a few friends, the graded assignment was returned with a whopping 'D'. Apparently Fish Bot was not super hero enough. Turns out fish can't fight very well, regardless if they are cartoon characters. Now I know cartoons must make logical sense.

Nevertheless! After having semi-finished Vince and giving him some proper animation cycles (more to come) I've decided to bring Fish Bot back, tweak it here and there and eventually model,rig, and animate in 3d.
The suit design is still in the works and proper front, side,back and 3/4 plates will be laid out for modeling in 3d. Color is not final. More of Fish Bot to come!
