Some character studies I decided to throw a little colour onto. I've added a little more to it since this recording, so I'll post up the full image tomorrow. Haven't done one of these process vids in a while... they're not fun😒 #characterdesign #illustration #warriorgirl #tribal #westafrican #nigeria #maxwelloginni #maximajination

Here’s a finished pose sheet (1 of 2) for this character who I’ve given the name, Princess Ugonwa. 

I based her design on a traditional Nigerian/ Igbo ceremonial attire, such as the orange coral beads & headpiece. In the Igbo tongue, the name ‘Ugonwa’ literally means, ‘Eagle Child’. I really liked the power & poetry behind that, so I decided to give her a golden gauntlet as an attribute of her name & perhaps a prophesied destiny. The gauntlet, I called, ‘The Eagles Claw’, which would have mystical powers only she could wield... sort of like Thor’s hammer, ‘Mjolnir’.... but probably much stronger ;)

Here's an 'Aquaman' piece I did as a fun first time contribution to the Sketch Dailies community. I've been off sick the past couple days, so got a chance to put a little more time & effort into the rendering... Working on 'Mr Bean: the animated series' is certainly keeping me busy, as I think this is actually the first painted piece I've done this year. Felt good! Hope you like, & feel free to share.

Thanks everyone for the very kind response on my "Josie & The Pussycats" piece, last week!

Out of curiosity (since several have asked), would any of you be interested in owning a high-res print of this illustration? If there's enough demand, I'll be putting out a very *limited* print-run over the next couple weeks. Drop a message to let me know ;) In the meantime, here's a cut-down speedpaint of me working on it...

All done with these gals now. Here's my rendition of Dan DeCarlo's Josie and the Pussycats. This was done in association with Planet-Pulp's February "Hanna Barbera" theme.
