    While working on a new job for a local military base I got an idea  on doing some funky effects with the shading on the skull that I came up with these two t shirt design ideas.   Once the design is approved I will post the FRCSE FCPOA Det Mayport design.

    Until then here are the two t shirt layouts I worked up from that initial idea.

    All vector all CorelDRAW X6

    I had some fun with the halftone patterns for shading. Was a bit tedious yet gave a cool effect and overall look to the design.

    Pretty much the same with some interweaving of the various background elements and changing the style of the wings. Ia m currently playing around with various colorings.  I can see this as a extremely large full front print taking up most if not the entire shirt.   I could also see these as poster designs for a hard core metal band.

    More to come…….

    Just some cyclo0ne mascot layouts and Ideas I am kicking around for a new mascot design. All images started out as a pencil sketch, scanned and recreated in vector using Custom Brushed in CorelDRAW X6.

    I was contracted recently to illustrate a Banana Split of all things.  Not something I normally do yet figured it would help keep my sketching skills fresh. Limited color palette using PMS spot colors.

    Due to client budget I had to revisit the original design and reduce to a 3 color. After some color manipulating I separated the design in full color and then proceeded to combine and remove colors until I got a good look using just 3 colors. The design ended up being separated using a Gray Underbase, Detail White and National Red.


    1-color Left Chest


    3-clr Full back (Composite of channel separations.)

    The original design was created as a 100% vector design in CorelDRAW. Exported to Photoshop @ 300dpi and manipulated and color separated as channel separations. Here is the original design submitted for approval before being reduced to 3 colors.

    Will post pics of the final printed shirt once the job is in production.
