Pigs, and Mermaids, and Cakes, oh my!



Latest page from "Fastest Pig in China". A little trickier than most. Lots of going back and forth between Illustrator and Photoshop. Liking where it's going. I'm hesitating on doing the screentone for some reason. So far, I've liked how the grey tones have been coming out, but I'm still trying to find a balance between all of the pages and how I use it.



I thought this just turned out really cute and it makes me want to design my own cake! I've been helping Tita Inday with her upcoming 25th wedding anniversary...and here's her cake! Well, it probably won't end up looking like this...Tita Inday and my Mom probably won't go for the red and purple tiers, but I think it gives a cute, modern twist to the cake without losing the classiness. That's their monogram in the upper left...I think that my dream job is branding weddings...



And lastly...my little pet project. I've had this sketch in mind for about a year now (in fact I've lost the original...I tried to recreate it as best as I can). It's my little tribute to the now closed on Broadway but starting a national tour "The Little Mermaid: A New Musical" musical...dorky dorky dork! This picture is sort of a spoiler alert, but Ariel's sisters (who were all women from different cultural backgrounds, which I wholeheartedly applaud) play a beautiful role in her final transformation from mermaid to human which was so beautiful it deserved some fanart...right now I'm doing color palette...I'll probably desaturate some of the colors, and keep Ariel in focus. I'm trying a lot of different techniques (for me at least) in this one, so I hope it turns into something interesting.
