Animal Pirate Card

I created this card as a freelance job for American Greetings Invention Lab. I was given a lot of artist freedom with this card. I am really happy with how everything turned out. I hope everyone else thinks so too.

Animals Playing Stickers

This sticker sheet is currently out at all Target Stores. I had a lot of fun working out the characters poses.

Robots

Detail of Characters:



Close Up of Red Robot:



Close Up of Blue Robot:



This card is currently out in all Target Stores. I have included an image of the Red and Blue Robots at a bigger size to show more detail.
The characters were created completely in Photoshop using Shape Layer Paths and Custom Brushes that I created. I did not include photos or use any 3d applications. Each Robot took me an average of 40 hours each. I did a lot of research on metal and how it would age and rust. The original size of each character was 14 inches tall at a resolution of 300 dpi. Because I like to have every detail on it's own layer the file with both characters in it was about 5 gigs.
It's a shame the characters ended up at about 2 inches tall on the card but, if they ever want to use the characters for card product or party goods, then they would have that option.

Fishing With Grandpa Birthday Card

Cover:

Inside:

This card is currently in all Walmart stores that carry American Greetings. The technique was inspired by the old golden books. I created all of the textures using brushes I made in Photoshop. As for the fish on the inside of the card, it is a slider. When you open the card, the fish slides horizontally to the right.
