The Parrot saga continues

So, the printer that my client chose to do the printing... well... he can't hack a 4 color job; he needs spot colors. So, I had to spend 2 hours last night redoing the colors so there was no gradation, shading, and delete the CMY channels from the PSD and save the file as a DCS 2.0.


Needless to say, it was a pain in the arse.


Oh, and dead mouse in the pool this morning. Awesome!

ANNNND the final Parrot design

Client review of version 1 is in:

I was given some instruction to make it more realistic than my initial sketch (below).

Turns out they wanted more like what I had last year, which is where I was GOING to go with it. Oh well.

Designing the Parrotshirt

Here's the sketch... now to digitize, ink, and paint.


Text will be tomorrow. Maybe.

HOLY !@#$!!!! TR2N!!!

YEAH!!!

Got chastized for lack of updates...

And lack of drawing of late, so, I'll kill two mockingbirds (YEAH!) this week. I've been asked to design for the second year in a row a family friend's Labor Day pool party T-shirt. This year is an inebriated parrot, last year was a croc'd crocodile. Below is last year's effort (sketch and final). I'll chronicle this year's in the next few days (Final is due Friday morning, so I have 48 hours)

Total Eclipse tonight!

Sooo...


Anyone see it?



I saw the first half of the occlusion. That's all.
