Character head study

A character's head I drew today for fun. Here's a rough sketch of the whole posture & clothing. No time to finish now though.

Random details:


Update: How about a black cap instead?

Minerva logo

I've been kindly commissioned by my friend Béla Kollár of Euroinstruments to do a logo redesign job for one of their clients. This is one of the concepts that were rejected by the client.

The logo is based on the historical iconography of Minerva, Roman goddess of craftsmanship and wisdom (and lots of other things as well). I found that most antique portrayals are rather unclear about the structure of the helmet she's wearing. It took me some researching to realise that she was supposed to be wearing a so-called Corinthian helmet, a symbol of glory and heroism at the time, tipped upward over her forehead.

Sketches: the helmet and how it could fit on the head.

Baby swordfish illustration

I've just designed some baby rompers for a couple of friends in our sailing team who are becoming daddies this year.

My initial sketches looked like this:


However, I soon came to realise that they had nothing to do with swordfish but looked more like mutant dolphins or something. So I rechecked my references and came up with this sketch:


There was still something fishy about it though. So eventually, I changed the proportions of the body to give it a younger and more vivid look.


Update: Two quick shots of the finished product.
