Winter Games Sketches

Have a look and see what I started out with. I've made quite a few changes to the design while keeping the layout simple. I'm a firm believer that you don't necessarily have to have everything fine tuned on paper. That's half the battle. The next half is fine tuning it up on screen. As you all know my sketches rarely look the same as what's online.

In Spirit of the Winter Games

Check out the latest piece from Kartoon Vandalz.
This one shows our panda mascot in a situation that he's never been in before. Skiing. Although scared, he's welcoming the games by trying something new.

This artwork has nothing to do with the Olympics. For fun only!

And yes. Our panda used to have undies on...

What KV Used to Look Like

Take a look and see the explorations that Kartoon Vandalz went through to get to where we are now. You'll see some familiar faces with some minor and major changes.

Sketches n Layouts for New Design

Take a look at these sketches! I'm a big believer of sketching whenever you feel inspired just before you loose that edge. I try to keep some paper and a pen near by so I can doodle whenever I feel creative. Try it out with different tools too. Sometimes pencil, pens, or blood. Well. Maybe not pens.

New Design for Twitter Page

Hey what's good people?
Just wanted to let you know that we've updated our Twitter page as well as our Blogspot one. We believed it was time to switch it up a bit just to keep things fresh. Lots of colours and lots of white space. Just the way we like it.

Rebranding or recreating a look and feel is never easy. Especially if you're a perfectionist like I am, it'll never be done and there will always be changes so badly wanted to do. If that's the case, then by the time you're finished the design, you'll already would've been completely bored with it and am already thinking of starting a new layout. Forget about it. Just put it down. If you want to change it later then change it later. Get the mall rolling and maybe you'll find that doing things a bit quicker isn't so bad.

Anyway enjoy the new look and feel. I hope you like it cause I do.

Sketch for KV Luminous

Hey all,
Check out this doodle I did for the new work. You know sometimes it's just fun to doodle and let your mind wander. It's a satisfying sense of adventure when you're creating something from scratch. Then you'll explore more and more and before you know it, you're really hating what you've done. However, you erase here add a line here, and all of a sudden you're loving it! Nice.

Anyway, Danny really stretched his mind for this one. He wanted something classical but with of course our Kartoon edge. And after were done brain storming, I took the sketch and brought it on screen.

Bam! Done.

KV Luminous

The opposite of KV Nocturnal uploaded a few months back, KV Luminous portrays the lighter side of life with musical instruments, style, and wine.

What says I have class better than a composer dressed in a tuxedo while sporting an afro? Maybe it's the penguin with the pipe and white wig? Probably all of the above. Danny had the idea of flipping the Nocturnal piece and creating a night and day version. We were able to bang out a few ideas over the past month while rebranding Kartoon Vandalz.

Hope you enjoy it and have fun with it.

Way of the Samurai... Pencils

Have a browse through a few of these shots that I took while sketching up the "Way of the Samurai" art piece. Sketching is incredibly important to the creative soul. It really helps to channel all of that creativity and project it onto paper. While that being half of the battle, bringing it on screen is another battlefield to conquer.

Way of the Samurai...

What do you get when you have samurais with bad spending habits? This new artwork here!

The female work force is quickly getting to its high where more and more women are striving professionally and doing it well. That's where the samurai girls come into play. They are our rendition of the typical woman who's strong, beautiful, and are well dressed to impress. But even the strongest of people have weaknesses don't they? Yes. And today's weakness is none other than shopping. O yeah. Have you noticed that many are owning pets as accessories instead of man's best friend?

Anyway enjoy!

Threadless Contest!

Hey all,

be sure to check out the tshirts on the Threadless website. My tshirt concept is pending approval right now so hopefully you can gather up some time and please vote for the tshirt idea when its finished its approval.

The theme to the Threadless contest was to do a shirt based around the idea of a geek. So I decided to create something that revolved around geeks and their avatars. A secret life which patiently waits online for its owner to come up from his or her work to gain more experience points. I wanted something clean and simple plus straight to the point.

www.threadless.com

Wayne Sayz: Hey guys I will be entering a tshirt contest that revolves around the idea of a geek for www.threadless.com. Winner gets a cash prize and also recognition within the site. Plus the tshirt will be sold online so that would be really coo...l. So hopefully you can help out and vote when my design is up! I'll keep you all posted. Thanks

KV Nocturnal Scan

This is what the original scan looked like before I colourized it on screen. Many times what you see in sketches don't quite turn out the same on screen. It's all about play and exploration. Thanks

New Artwork: KV Nocturnal

Hey watsup folks,

This new one is called KV Nocturnal. It mainly talks about the late night pleasures of the underground city. Sleep all day and party all night is the saying right? Hope you guys really enjoy this one. I had a lot of fun putting this artwork together.
