First 4 Character Designs

The first four characters for a book I am working on. I am turning this in in an hour for my electronic illustration final

alligator character design

Started with a chubbier version. Got feedback to make him thinner and have less forehead so that he looks more like a gator than a dragon.

Evolution of a Character

So I am trying to design a child version of the best mascot ever, Aubie, the Auburn Tiger. It has been tricky working on this because there are certain trademarked features of the adult Aubie that have to be present in the child Aubie.

So this is the real, official Aubie >

Below are my sketches of the kid Aubie.

The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me

So I am re-designing the cover for an existing book by Roald Dahl called “The Giraffe the Pelly and Me”

It is a super-cute book about the “ladderless window cleaning company” that consists of a monkey, a pelican, and a giraffe. The meet a young boy and eventually get a lifetime gig of cleaning windows for the Duke at the Hampshire mansion.

The Seven Deadly Sins…at a Birthday Party

So I got some advice to add pieces with children and animals interacting to my portfolio so I did 7 very strong personalities… the seven deadly sins… all at a birthday party. Below is the line drawing. I am painting it in acrylic now but I think the final piece will be digital.
