New Art Direction

I've been so inspired lately by imagry my friend Tracy had shown to me so I have been really sketching up a storm. Here are some of my newest illustrations. Going with the above theme I have decided to create a set. I will definitely be posting it here and on my Deviant art once completed. I'm so excited.

This is one I created of my Best Friend Tracy Maclauchlan. She drew a picture of Veil, from The Taffetas

It starts with an Idea and a sketch

I paint right over it in Photoshop

I then refine it, adding small details and fixing things I dont like

I cell shade it ... even though I LOVE the flats

Then its the background. It looks a little funky now ... but add some flowers...

And try not to box the image ... Viola finished XD

So I am going to go back and continue drawing, but I thought blogging might be a nice break.

This last one is a sketch of an upcomming illustration I am about to complete.

Just Working On Some of That Mind Katalyst

As I have mentioned before in earlier post, I have been working under Mind Catalyst LLC (Now Mind Katalyst LLC) a learning company focused on compter programing and science education for children K-12. It has been a long ride but a wonderful one. This is the final logo in a mutitude of many roughs. (Below are just a few)

(You'll notice the amount of revision before reaching the final piece. Some are better than others, and the company went through a lot of restructuring as far as what kind of business it wanted to be as well as a name change after coming up with concepts and mock-ups)

Business cards were relatively the same process. The final piece is above while mock-ups and early versions are below.

In the end, we went with a very illustrative style that's simple and straight forward. Here are shots of the tabs I created for Mind Katalyst's Twitter site as well as the facebook fan page. Check it out, and like them.
