Captain Crunch vs The Sogmaster

...I loves me some Peanut Butter Crunch.

//Tony the Tiger - Final with Process


Final Pencils


Final Inks


Colors

This is the first of what I hope to be a full on project that will eventually culminate into an arcade game.  

Pencils were taken into Photoshop, converted to cyan for inking.  I printed off that cyan copy, inked it, and then re-scanned the piece.  Once scanned, I clean up any stray pencil lines and brought it into Illustrator and further cleaned up using the Live Trace feature.  I did this to give a better, more organic feel to the inks as my inking tends to lose some of the organic-ness of the pencil drawing.  Then it was brought back into Photoshop for a traditional coloring.  While the subject matter usually has a cel-shaded coloring applied to it, I chose to go with a more "traditional" coloring style as it is the desired look for the overall project.

Any critiques are greatly encouraged!

Trix the Rabbit

For my submission I chose Trix the Rabbit. 

I originally did a cartoony sketch. I didn't think this was enough "me." I did the darker watercolor after that.

"Frankenberry"

White Prismacolor pencil on 8"x10" black Canson Mi-Teintes board by Robert Elrod.



Here it is with a little digital color.



I took inspiration from classic photos of Boris Karloff as The Monster to create this portrait of "Frankenberry". Hope you find as much enjoyment in it as I did in drawing it.

All the best!
Robert
