Walmart Easter Promo

This Promo is currently out at Walmart. The original designs had googly eye attachments. They decided to take them off later to cut cost.

Target Easter Stickers

Happy Easter! Here is some stickers I created for Target. They were well recieved at American Greetings.

Robot On Space Board

For this design I was asked to put the robot kid on a futuristic skateboard/surfboard. I found the most challenging thing about this design was remembering which brushes I used to create the textures. I constantly make my own brushes and because we are expected to be versitile in many art techniques, I sometimes forget how I created a design.
Another challenge was matching the color with the original design. Because AG decided to use a different paper stock it made the ink react differently to the paper. A constant battle we have...trying to create the cleanest colors possible.

Robot W/Dog

This card was very fun to do. It gave me a chance to design a dog character for the robot kid to interact with. The only thing missing in this design is a metal heart in the robot kids hand. It is not shown here only because it is a finishing (a term AG uses to describe a special process.) In this case I believe it was Silver Foil Hot Stamp. I also included a separate page of the robot dog to show more of the detail and the colors I used to digitally paint the character.

This is one of my favorite pieces posted so far. I have been waiting for it to come out to stores so, I could post it.
I have always loved highly rendered illustration because, it challenges me to come up with new ways to approaching something. My goal for this piece was to create a 3 dimensional looking character 2 dimensionally. I also like to create my own textures and brushes in photoshop...and I am constantly experimenting with creating and altering them.
