Diss Crazy! iPhone App Gets Reviewed

A couple of weeks ago I posted that PunkArts had released the new Diss Crazy! iPhone app. This week I'm happy to announce the app is getting some pretty great reviews! Check out these cool articles from iPhone Footprint and SlapApp!

Here's what iPhone Footprint says about our artwork:

"I feel like I am gushing here, but Diss Crazy has got amazing graphics too. The artwork is colorful and fun, and the characters all have their individual style that speaks volumes of their personality."

Here's what SlapApp says:

"The visual art in the app really shines. Crisp cartoon style artwork of each character stands out and gives the app extra punch."

Character Designs: PunkArts' 12penny

Here’s the third and final character design we did for PunkArts. The hip-hopper named 12penny!



Above are the final ink & paints and below you can check out the rough sketches, which were done in Flash. I think of the three characters I had the most fun with this dude… especially the slide, kick, and upside down poses.



Below is the comparison sheet of Sarah’s original sketch (on the left) to my final design (on the right). The client wanted more whacky proportions, but again, I was able to use her sketch as a starting point for my work.



Finally, is the alternate hairstyle sheet. I always find it amusing to see this sort of stuff… what could have been his hairstyle had the client chosen differently.



I’d say the correct choice was made in the end, although the afro IS pretty sweet!

Character Designs: PunkArts' Flikka

Here's the second in our series of character designs for PunkArts... the sweet rocker chick Flikka.



Above are the final ink & paints and below you can check out the rough sketches, which were done in Flash. I find that I'm really comfortable working with the brush tool directly in the program. You'll also notice the crazy colors in the sketches below... I find that switching up colors helps me if I feel like I've hit a wall creatively.



Last but not least is the comparison of Sarah's original sketches (on the left) to my finals (on the right). We basically mixed her two concepts with my style to get to the final design. Having the ability share concepts and bounce ideas off of each other is a great way to get the best possible design.

Character Designs: PunkArts' Sandi

2A! recently worked on a series of character designs for a company called Punk Arts. Real fun stuff. Here's the first in the series, a cool dude named Sandi.



Above are the final ink & paints and below you can check out my rough sketches, all of which were done straight in Flash.



Below is Sarah's original sketch (on the left). As you can see, the client wanted to go for a more stylized version in the end, but she laid the ground work for me to get to the final design (on the right).
