PM Red-Hartebeest by pseudomanitou

Sat, 18 Nov 2006 15:05:57 -0000

Alcelaphus buselaphus -- AKA, Hartebeest. Strong and fast enough, awkward appearing yet solid build, unique markings, herbivore, watchful, high endurance, non-aggressive, vigorous defenders, sticks to a small herd... As an avatar, a Red Hartebeest suits me pretty well. The Chinese figure is supposed to represent determination, not sure if it is accurate. The background texture is composed of pieces of older illustrations - the clothing and such.

PM Inari-nine by pseudomanitou

Sat, 18 Nov 2006 14:50:45 -0000

Inari©her creator. Rather then illustrate one fox with nine tails- I figured, why not illustrate nine foxes forming a similar visual effect, a "visual metaphor". Font used is called "Mothera"- a truly fun combination of oriental characters grouped to form something similar to english letter forms.

PM Inari-red by pseudomanitou

Sat, 18 Nov 2006 14:48:38 -0000

Inari©HerCreator. First, art nouveau trade picture I ever did. This image still stands as one of my best art nouveau-style cloth designs, despite five years of trying to out-do it. The wings in the background are just clip art: a trick with placing BMP images into Adobe Illustrator designs that I've been experimenting with for a while now.

Shatter Logo by chlorophyta

Thu, 14 Dec 2006 13:54:41 -0000

I did this to use in my portfolio stuff as a logo or theme. Thiel had suggested that we start 'branding' ourselves right away, so that clients can start associating our names with our art, that's important. Everything has this on it- my business card, my self-promo stuff, my letterhead, and my portfolios have it on every page, along with a handwritten 'signature.' It's not actually my signature, because my real signature's illegible, but I did write my name in brushpen in my 'legible' handwriting.

You're Mad... I'm Mad... by chlorophyta

Sun, 03 Dec 2006 03:05:04 -0000

Just a quick character study of Shatter, my cheshire cat for a rather large upcoming project... Shatter the Cheshire cat and everything else related to thus far unnamed project are copyright©2006 Jenika Watkins. And pardon my lack of graphic design ability, there's a reason I registered for that intro to GIC class next semester. =)
