^ above I’ve created project storyboards, character design and the corresponding final sequential vector illustrations, for Voicewalk –a studio in Los Angeles that produces animatic advertising commercials for the web. Posted here are just a couple of the final vector illustrations….
^ above Preliminary character designs of: a girl eating ice cream and a jello chef –that were created for the now closed, Curious Pictures animation studio, two in a series of a dozen various characters for a potential commercial animation project.
I really enjoy creating these bold, simple and sometimes quirky cartoon character designs… and am always looking forward to a project that requires me to work in this style mode!
