Digital Illustration - Week 04

Our homework last week for digital illustration was to make a pro-Earth/environmental awareness shirt. Here's what I came up with.

It looked slightly different when I presented it in class. After I had a bit of time away from it and came back to look at it fresh, I thought the nose plus the position of the oil well looking kinda like a pointy hat sort of made the planet look like a clown. I liked that. So I told the class, "I think I'm going to modify it a bit to make it look more like a clown. Because clowns vomiting is always funny." This project was more good exercise working with the pen tool, and also in keeping groups and layers labeled. Working with all of the groups of objects this time was much easier and organized this time around.

Here is the original that was presented during class. I made the changes during the rest of the critique. I wasn't too keen on adding the speech balloon/caption, but the teacher thought it would help.


Below are my original concept drawings. I made these in class when the assignment was given. Not a whole lot of development went into this project. I knew right away what I wanted to do.





Here's an alternate design I also came up with in class. I had actually wanted to do both, but just didn't have the time.
