Another good weekend of drawing. These were for the Woot "Fake Band T-Shirts" Derby.
I wanted to do a couple of different styles, I went for a joke on one (Letterheads which later on had to be resubmitted as Letterbrains) and for authenticity on the other. Both were received well by the voters.
Anyway, just posting a few sketches, check 'em out below.
This was my initial entry into the "Sun" derby on Woot. I actually started out fiddling around with just the idea of the sun being a person, or a sun god of some sort. I gave him all sorts of whacky shit because I figured the sun is what brings warmth and life.
The next idea I added to this was that the sun and the moon were buddies seeing each other again - a charming tale of two ancient friends reuniting, and I was going to call it The long awaited eclipse (or something like that).
Well it was a good few days of drawing, I can say that much. I'm disappointed of course in the rejection of two of my entries in the derby, but nothing I can do about that now.
Anyway, here's a few of the original sketches from my a couple of my entries and the collaboration with noisdois.
This was one of the funnest shirt designs I worked on in the recently. Lots of characters and insider jokes.
It was for the shirt.woot derby #97 BBQ and you can check out the progression images below for my work process (click on 'em to zoom in). Pretty simple, started with a basic perspective grid then sketched out the scene. After that I went through the characters and did the line work for the design, I knew I wanted to put it on a light shirt so dark lines weren't going to be a problem.
My name is Kris Robinson, this is where I blog about art, computers, illustration, design, work, life and other stuff... basically anything that pops into my head.
