Figures, no backgrounds.

Sorry for the brevity today; it seems every time I plan to blog, I have multiple projects going. I did not blog last week because...I forgot. So this week you get two pieces of art that most likely will never be on the website :)

The first piece was done for USAA's customer magazine. USAA sponsors the Army/NAvy football game, and they wanted an opening image to celebrate 10 years of sponsorship. The AD requested a combination of the two uniforms on one victorious player.

Newly Nike-designed uniforms. Not much reference to work from as they had just unveiled the uniforms a few weeks before the assignment:

Sketch in provided layout:

The AD requested a sketch revision with the arm lowered so that the figure could be larger:

Final art in layout:
Looking at the layout, I can't help but mention how much it changed from what I was provided to work with; I think my initial sketch could have worked in this layout nicely.

Here is an alternate design I submitted using the official colors of the Army/Navy game while still incorporating elements form both uniforms (number and lettering of Navy, camo of Army):
And completely unrelated, here is a 30-something homemaker I drew up for a deign studio to be used on a pinball game promoting the use of anti-depressants (there is no joke here, folks):
Enjoy the Day,
