Angry Gnome Comics / The Third Act

This is my second story I have done for Angry Gnome Comics. I really enjoyed doing these pages because it had the detective noir genre. I loved playing with the deep shadows and grey tones.

Buddhist Priest! Threadless design

I am at it again!! I am trying one more time to get my design printed on threadless.com, it is my goal!

This submission is a funny little idea and a couple of cute illustrations, it is a mashup of the classic Heavy Metal band Judas Priest and a couple of religious people.

Here is the original logo for the Heavy Metal band

Here are my sketches of my two religious people

And here is the final product!!!

I did the logo and finished Illustrations in Adobe Illustrator and the sketches on paper with graphite.

I have submitted it and now I hope it gets approved!!

Wish me luck, Namaste!

Crest

One of my latest projects was to help a client come up with a family crest. Well when I say help I mean I illustrated and she just told me what to do.
This was her initial sketch of what she wanted and the final image is what we came up with.

After several emails and sketches we started to move forward. She wanted the classic animals protecting the crest and choose a swan and a bear (but she wanted the bear to look like the classic lions that you see in a crest) so there were a ton of elements added and changed.

Here is the final version of the crest once it was finally decided on. The process was several forms of media, traditional drawings for the animals, Adobe Illustrator for the placement and layout, and Adobe Photoshop for the coloring and effects added to the crest.
All in all it was around 25 concept drawings and samples and around a week of solid working to get it to her liking.
