Art Beast Mascot

I’ve been working with the ladies at Art Beast, a nonprofit children’s center for homeless kids. They needed a mascot/logo for their organization, and it was a lot of fun working with them to create the perfect beast.

The original sketches. They liked number two, so we went with it with some revisions (simplification, etc)

Some of the colors we contemplated (we ended up with a combination of these for the final one, though!)

We ended up going with this beast, but they also wanted a version with texturing, which spawned this guy….

Thank you John Foerster for the demo on texturing in Illustrator! ;)

Phew! It was quite a process, but a lot of fun.

    Jade, these look so great! I like seeing the process and color schemes. I am in awe of your Illustrator skills as the only thing I really understand about that program is Live Trace. :)
