]]> demon head rough sketch

A quick little rough sketch of a demon character, side view.

Sketched on paper, scanned in then played around with it in Photoshop CS4 and the Intuos4. Laid down initial shading, then added a flat gray layer so I could add yet another white/highlights layer for a toned paper effect.

]]> Here are some fun cartoon-style building illustrations I created for SocialCirql.com, a new social media services site created by the guys over at Akron, Ohio marketing and design firm Red Incorporated.

Great project, fun clients and very happy with the final artwork.

Cartoon-style design firm building

Cartoon-style skyscraper building illustration

Here you can see how they were used on the actual website:

The concept here was to show that Social Cirql could handle the social media needs for any size company, from Mom & Pop to corporate giants. They also wanted to add a dash of “fun” to their presentation, hence the illustrations.

John over at Red Inc. even asked me to go “Dr. Suess-y” with the Agency building (the funky design studio building). You can’t beat that kind of art direction!
