Personal Art Round-Up

2017 is coming to a close and I thought New Year's Eve would be a great time to showcase some of my personal artwork from this year. I have been keeping up an online presence under the alias 'Cranberry Latte' for a few years now, I use various social media pages to keep a visual diary of my personal improvements in art - here's to further improvements in 2018!

For those interested, here are the links to my art pages!

Bunny Character: Iterations

I've begun iterating on the bunny character (named Russi Rabbit for now, unless I think of a better name for her) - for reference, this was the initial design I created. This design was heavily inspired by Sanrio mascots such as Hello Kitty as well as classic Sonic the Hedgehog designs. I felt like there was potential in the concept of a bunny character, but as a gaming mascot specifically she is flawed.

Russi Rabbit's initial design. I thought it could be
too feminine and I wasn't sure if it was really
suitable for a game protagonist without some
reworking

Character Design: Homing In

A couple of weeks back I provided a little break down of 6 characters (some as a result of popularity from my questionnaire and a couple of wild cards that I felt were strong with my new-found knowledge of mascots). At that point, I narrowed the list down to three top contenders: the robot, the bull and the bunny.
