Textures and Techniques

These aren't personal stuff - they're (edited) assignments last semester for a particular class.

This one was to create icons representing toys:

This one was a hypothetical illustration for an article on the Bata Shoe Museum:

I made a background for this in Photoshop with some textures I had, but it screwed up the colours massively, so everybody looses. But then, I thought the background was a little distracting anyway, so maybe it's for the best. Here's the other version.

Metafiction has a slightly different look, Nameless has a different costume and Cake was completely redesigned from scratch. See also: My deviantART.

In my pencil sketches, I also had a cute motorcycle helmet and a behind view, which I kinda wish I had added into the entry. Oh well!
