Tony the Tiger - Final with Process


Final Pencils


Final Inks


Colors

This is the first of what I hope to be a full on project that will eventually culminate into an arcade game.  

Pencils were taken into Photoshop, converted to cyan for inking.  I printed off that cyan copy, inked it, and then re-scanned the piece.  Once scanned, I clean up any stray pencil lines and brought it into Illustrator and further cleaned up using the Live Trace feature.  I did this to give a better, more organic feel to the inks as my inking tends to lose some of the organic-ness of the pencil drawing.  Then it was brought back into Photoshop for a traditional coloring.  While the subject matter usually has a cel-shaded coloring applied to it, I chose to go with a more "traditional" coloring style as it is the desired look for the overall project.

Any critiques are greatly encouraged!

Cereal Icons - A Preview

Here's my pick this week over at www.timberlinedraw.blogspot.com - Cereal Icons.  This is just a preview of an image/project that I'm looking to complete.  But this is a start.  "Ferocious" Tony the Tiger....

Here's my contribution over at www.timberlinedraw.blogspot.com. This is the first piece I've done in about 2 months. It's purely digital--all done in Photoshop.

//DSC - Tunnel Rat

Daily Sketch Challenge - Tunnel Rat from G.I. Joe

Well, the actual challenge was to draw any of the 500+ characters from G.I. Joe. I went with Tunnel Rat from the cancelled all too early but should really be running for multiple seasons G.I. Joe: Renegades cartoon series. The designs on this were just so fresh. I'm sure they were done by some great artists that frequent deviantArt.

Daily Sketch Challenge - Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service

I had a whole image that just didn't work, and instead of posting the entire hot mess I cropped the part that I thought was successful.  Who knew drawing a teenager on a broom  would be so darn difficult?

//DSC - Shazam!

Daily Sketch Challenge of DC Comics new design for Shazam!  Apparently they're no longer calling him Captain Marvel and he's less super hero and more magical.
