Random badges

Below are a set of badges I created based on various drawings Sleepyanimal has put in my notebook overtime. The dotted line indicates the edge of the badge. Please note that Poubelle International's name and likenesses have been used without their permission - Ben, Johan and Dean, I hope you guys don't mind.

Weather badges

The Hong Kong Observatory never fails to amuse with its amazing array of symbols and weather descriptions - most of which turn out to be totally inaccurate. I've drafted up a couple of badges (1" tin badge template), to honour HKO's efforts.

Update to Saam

I've updated my draft Saam design (see below). This version is based on an Atari game cover tutorial I found. I'm going to further revise the look to make it more original and I'll change the character from Saam to something more space / arcade related. Stay tuned.

GunRave-Ribs

This GunRave design is a homage to Nigel Tufnel's ribcage t-shirt in 'This Is Spinal Tap'. I've also included an acid-pink on white version, because acid-pink is my go-to colour at the moment.

This design is going in the 'possibles' folder for t-shirt prints.

Five

My design for five is dedicated to all the Ikea manuals that have made a useless, tool-phobic person like myself, look like a genuine handyman.


I've always respected the simple, yet careful and clear design aesthetic that Ikea manuals have. I also like the hand drawn feel the illustrations have. I've tried to capture that by using the pen tool for many of the lines.

The result is slight out of alignment because I'm still struggling a bit with perspective drawing. (The numbers correspond with the proper stroke order for this character.)
