The style and content isn’t as
parallel to the assigned article but the idea was that since the monkey lives
among people it reflects human characteristics. That’s the reason for the pipe,
monocle, and clothing. This isn’t exactly magazine material; the intention was
to bring my own style into the overall piece. The overall color choice were
darker colors with a slight grayish tint. Although the monkey has a
“sophisticated” look to him his mindset is still fixed on monkey
mischief…mainly banana’s.
Everything was made with either the
pen tool or shapes. For each shape I added an inner glow with a low opacity and
dark glow for the darker edges. Everything was laid out, color, line work,
shapes, before the bold outline was done. A few texture images are used through
out the composition.
Love your work as always. it is very interesting and original.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool, this idea reminds me of art deca posters
ReplyDeleteI like how the monkey is more abstract and has a mechanical look. Nice use of gradients!
ReplyDeleteNice graphic stylization, almost too embossed but very well executed and a great illustration. Background gradient was a nice choice.
ReplyDeleteCool! I like the texture and gradients on the monkeys fur! I like the how monocle and pipe look the monkey has going!
ReplyDeleteExcellent use of stoke thickness. I'm glad someone else also has a banana thought bubble.
ReplyDeleteI love how your art is both simple and detailed. However, the dark glows inside the lines is really strong in a few areas, and (to me) seems to detract from the image itself, especially as it's on every single shape.
ReplyDeleteLove the steampunk take on the monkey.
ReplyDeleteI like the style of the artwork. It is very clean and precise. I like the concept as well. Excellent job.
ReplyDeleteI like the sophisticated looking monkey. Your illustrator skills are good.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done as alway love the style. I think the idea is great having a sophisticated monkey.
ReplyDeleteI think I found a favorite, just great and hilarious to boot. The mayor, as a Monkey, doing naught but bananas. With a great style, and great colors, this is fantastic work.
ReplyDeleteI feel as though this monkey must have a british accent and is very stoutish… totally like the image and nice stylization, great character.
ReplyDeleteYour style is awesome! I agree with the whole british accent thing it definitely has that look to him! The block style is great!
ReplyDeleteThis is so well done! I love your style and the colors you chose. It all fits together really well and I really love the details used in it too. The idea is funny also.
ReplyDeleteAwesome job Sebastion! This stylized version of the monkey is great. The straight lines in his face gives him a mechanical feel yet the curve on his tail gives him an organic feel. Kinda got this Mech/Organic dilemma which is cool. If his eye was glowing red through the monicle we'd all be in trouble!
