Aliens!




I had a couple of fun projects this week - here are some alien designs for one of them, along with the original sketches and Illustrator tracing. They were then colored in Illustrator, with some additional textures added in Photoshop.

nice ones man! really cute. like that you kept the colors simple for a more child like look. was this for work or personal?

my faves are the red and green guys in the 1st row and the purple dude in the 2nd. the faces on those three are really expressive!

a children's book with characters like this would sell i bet!

think about it!

Hey Jason - thanks! These were for work - for men's boxer briefs wouldya believe! Your faves are also mine! thanks! I think those were the first three I drew.

A children's book with these guys (and more!) would be a lot of fun! hmmm....

they got a hip hop flavor with a pop appeal to them...

Thanks, Glen! I'd love to have someone make PVC figures of these guys! I gotta find a sculptor!

These are great, man! They look very cute. I can see these in those Japanese vinyl figures at Toy Tokyo (in the Village.)
