Hi Guys, here’s some illustrations I did with Kilo Studios for the Adidas : Adizero facebook game.
Do check out the link: HERE.
Play the game and win adidas prizes!
Sketches were done first based on each character attributes. By stereotyping the design based their attributes is easy to create a set of character with contrast in terms of shapes, gender or form.
Big ups to Kilo for making the game mechanics, its really impressive!
peace, B

Hi Guys, just pimping an upcoming event. Here’s a sneak peek of my contribution.
PantoneMyArt brings together the work of ten Singapore-based artists, who are given the challenge of creating artworks in predominantly one colour that they were individually assigned. Pantone© refers to a proprietary colour matching system, traditionally used in a variety of design and printing industries. In the exhibition context, this colour reference will extend to a wide range of mediums, from painting to digital art.
Hope to see you guys there, peace, B
