In February, I was commissioned to illustrate a logo and a zombie attacking a hapless chicken for peta2′s Flesh is for Zombies campaign. These were the color options I offered them.

Eons ago, Major Robot Interactive, who I worked with on the Big Mapple project, hired me to design a graphic robot icon mascot. After an initial cartoonish sketch phase that nearly ended in tears, a new direction was decided on. These were the initial choices I sent for review.

Appealing elements were pointed out, so I offered them another round with similar attributes.

And this was the final choice, which you can see in use on Major Robot’s site. I enjoy that they used the robot’s hand for the User Experience Design icon.

Narrowing down the Swamp Chicken character designs and redesigns. You can see a simple indication of the revised proportions and the new characters in these concept painting concept sketches. Mort has changed the least. Suzy the Marsh Rabbit’s and the Fox’s designs are totally new. Suzy’s design is the furthest from finalized as of this drawing.

This is the swamp, chicken, so you

Illustrated after receiving very helpful instruction from a legitimate painter at my workplace.

Updated! I’ve made some improvements as per the suggestion of the illinest painter I know, Seattle artistÂ Augie Pagan.

Randall from Holy Hummingbird.

I’ve included Augie’s notes and the original version I’d sent to him.

Holy Hummingbird Concept

Rika: Color scheme I, with the tights from option H. Randall: Color scheme N. Picture them as stop-motion puppets.

Rika’s Color Schemes

Brock Says: I’m always thinking three to ten projects ahead. After Swamp Chicken and another unannounced 2D animated short, I’d like to make an attempt at stop-motion animation. This is all contingent on finding people who can sculpt and mold puppets, and machine armatures, and build sets. This is Rika from that short, Holy Hummingbird. Her color scheme might be one of these:

Even with all of these choices, I still mixed and matched.
