A tale of ice cream

Friend or foe

I don't really know what this is or who created it, but I do know I love him! (Assuming that it is in fact a 'he').

I would love to know if he is a one off or if there are more out there clinging on for dear life to lamp posts across the UK

I stumbled across this one in Covent Garden, London last week but will be keeping my eyes peeled for more!

Robot character design

I was recently approached about creating a character for a client that I have worked with before on a few other projects.

My client wanted a robot created to join the family of characters they already have representing the numerous money saving websites they run.

Each site represents a different sector which ranges from discounted vouchers to magazine subscription offers.

I originally set out creating 4-5 different character designs. From here we whittled it down to two which we then ended up merging, as both had favourable features.

The sketches of some of the development work are below.

 

From here the client chose their favoured design and after making a few additional amends, including adding the mouth and dollar sign on the chest plate, I began the final poses. From a personal point of view I was against adding the mouth as I feel the characters emotions can be equally reflected through their eyes and body posture, but saying that I was really happy with the way he turned out.

 

After the sketches were signed off, I began the final vector illustrations which you can see below.
