So this is the first real project I've ever done in Illustrator. For this project I wanted to draw Vernon Yates as I saw him. I pictured him as some geeky guy with nothing better to do then catch this harmless monkey. First, I scanned in my sketch and then colored and drew everything else in Adobe Illustrator. I didn't draw his eye's because I had no idea how :P
The second was the one I turned to sketches into a GIF to make it look like the monkey was being electrocuted. So I drew to pictures in Adobe Illustrator, then put them in Photoshop to make the GIF.
The gif would be a powerful piece since this was an online article on the Tampa Monkey. 2 Thumbs up.
ReplyDeleteThe GIF is super funny, and I like that you attempted to try a realistic look as well.
ReplyDeleteI love your gif its really funny! Also your idea with the geeky guy is pretty much spot on haha!
ReplyDeleteAwesome illustration on the monkey getting zapped!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI like the style its very well done i think it works even without the eyes and the gif is awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe gif is really well done
ReplyDeleteIf this is your first project on illustrator i cant wait to see your last of the semester. Good colors, I like that you chose to do something "different" too.
ReplyDeleteBoth of them are done really well, the Gif turned out really nice and the details are really done well in both. Looks really good for a first project in illustrator!
ReplyDeleteYay the gif! Its awesome!! Yates portrain is good too! Nice job on his hair!! :D
ReplyDeleteI love the monkey being electrocuted. I also agree it does sound a little mean when you really think about it but it is create and funny.
ReplyDeleteThe gif is really nice. I like the colors and the way you did the monkey.
ReplyDeleteWhile both have their merits, I find putting the GIF into a mag a bit of ask. I do however like the gif. Simple and playful, I do find the guy missing his eyes a little creepy, only once I think about it. But other than that he is well drawn.
ReplyDeleteThe gif is so adorable! For your first illustrator project you did very well on the portrait; this skin turned out nicely! I actually thought the missing eyes has a deeper meaning!
ReplyDeleteThat gif is awesome. It's not so great for the monkey but I like this kind of humor. It's also fresh to see this instead of a standard 2-D digital image.
