Pure vector, not a stray raster was used in production of this illustration. Not that I am especially proud or anything. Just saying.
I am kinda proud. It tool a lot of work…
Finally got round to follow up on my animal mugshots project. As promised, next suspect on the list is the Kat, or La Pousse – haven’t quite worked out what to name it yet. I am working entirely in illustrator with this one. Trying to keep it fairly simple but I guess I wont be able to avoid some simple gradients, as much as I am trying to stay away from those nowadays.
To be continued!
It might be long before another update as I am heading to Poland for a week, so let me just show a preview of the next in the series of Animal Mugshots – this time It’s Kat-z, althought the name might change. Previous one was in photoshop, this time I’ve decided to use illustrator, to keep things more flexible and my computer from choking at the final stage of rendering.
It seems to have a little less interest than the Dawg but hope to adjust it later on. Also the colour is just an overlay – not what I am going for in the final.
Have a great weekend.
Having some fun with this one. Really great to revisit pen tool and play with creating some custom brushes in illustrator. this is how it looks in vectors. I will now take it for a spin in photoshop. I kinda wish I had time to finish it all in vector but in case I am also interested how it’ll look when I start going medieval on its a… with textures and blend modes… good times ahead!
I hope the message of the illustration becomes clear now. I would like not to cause any offence towards Italian rugby fans as the text of the article is not offensive either and highlights the nation’s legacy on other sport fields (instead)
