Here’s another critter concept I recently drew… well, maybe he’s more of a monster than a critter. In any case, the original sketch of this bad boy (see below) was one of numerous proposed styles we came up with for a recent client project. This particular look wasn’t chosen, but instead of letting him disappear into the vast cavern of my unused sketches, I decided to have some fun and try painting him. My peeps know I normally like to ink my art, but I’m trying to expand my horizons a bit. So here you have it… one angry dinosaur digitally painted in Photoshop, sans any ink lines.
I think he turned out pretty sweet! I’ll definitely be playing around with more digital painting in the future, so stay tuned… ;)
Ok, I have a confession to make... I have no clever anecdote, tie-in, or reason to show this week's animation. I just like it. The closest thing I could think of was that I'm really looking forward to "Spring." Ha, ha! Anyway, we did this "Jack In The Box" animation for our batch of SweetIM Christmas animations. Check it out!
It feels like 2A! has gone a bit fashion crazy with all the costume designs we’ve been doing lately. Why stop now though? Today I present the outfits we designed for the KidzChores boy avatars!
Again, the boy's wardrobe follows closely in the footsteps of the little girl and mom avatars. I tried to make a nice blend of ethnic and every day clothing that kids on the site can have fun customizing. Also, with the boy I tried less fanciful clothing styles to try and make him feel a little cooler.
Why not try making your own avatar at KidzChores.com? With so many options, you're sure to have a good time!
2A! will be attending the 2010 KidScreen Summit next week, from February 10th to the 12th in New York City!
The KidScreen Summit has become one of the world’s leading conferences on “the business of kid’s entertainment,” hosting over 1,400 attendees from around the world. Top decision-makers, marketers, and creative alike attend to network and share new ideas to drive their businesses forward.
In addition to promoting our animation services, 2A! will also be pitching our new “green-themed” animation property called, Bagboy! Anyone attending the summit who would like to meet up can drop us a line. We look forward to seeing everyone at the show!
It’s time for another sweet installment of Monday Morning Motivators! This week’s theme was chosen by our good friend, Kelly Crisci. Thanks for the suggestion buddy! Anyone interested in suggesting an idea for us to sketch can either leave a comment here or join us on our official Facebook page. Become a fan, suggest a theme, and if we dig your suggestion we’ll sketch it!
Now, I don’t know about you, but all these cupcakes are making me hungry. So let's get on with it already… “C” is for Cupcakes!
