Game Developing Scientists by AJvdW

Hi there! Here is my final entry for the design contest. Just in time too! Really hope you like it. If I am fortunate enough to win, I can do the illustrations in a different style if desired at no extra cost. I can also redo the faces to match the real life people they are to represent (with adequate reference of course). Kind regards, AJ

    (3) Are you also skilled in web design ? I will need to publish the drawings in the blog and I would like to have a few ideas of how to do that. Indeed the web site I'm working on has a very "elegant" theme, not really a cartoon-style, so I need to change it a bit. Take a look at http://escape.thrinaxstudios.com. But I don't want a cartoon-style web site. I would like to integrate the elegant theme with the cartoon characters. Do you think it's a bad idea ?
    Ok, thank you for your answer, looking forward to hear form you.
    Kind regards
    Antonio

      Unfortunately I am not very clued up on web design...
      But it would be possible to make them look good on the site byy playing with colour.
      By making the illustrations colours that match the palette of the website, we could make them look
      like they belong there.

    (2) Once approved the characters, I will use them for my web blog. That mean I will need other drawings of the same character in different poses. I probably will need 1 or 2 drawing a week. One week for example I would need the older scientist aiming with a laser, another week I would perhaps need the younger man playing with a saw etc.... I would like to know which would be your best price to make each weekly drawing and if you're interested in it.

      The illustration at the top (with all 3 characters on a blank / no background) took me about 4-5 hours.
      So for each 3 illustrations (1 of each) I would charge 20GBP.

    Hello, thank you for your submissions,
    I'm evaluating a few final proposal and yours is one among them. To help me decide can you let me know a few things ?
    (1) Behind each character there is indeed a real person. I don't want the characters to look similar to the the real men and woman, but perhaps they could have something in common. What do you think ? Would you be available to change a bit the characters in order to make them have something in common with the real persons ? I don't want to loose your creativity, so the characters don't real need to look similar to the real persons. Of course I would send to you the photo. How much would be the extra ?

      I could do them as extreme versions of the real people that have the aesthetic of their personalities.
      The can still maintain their creativity, while being posed, having the expression and/or posessing visible props,
      objects or accessories thatare to each real individual's liking.
      As stated, I would be glad to do the reiterations for free as the prize money is good.
      I will only have to charge to do them in different poses once the initial designs have been approved.

    Hello, can you let me know a bit more about the techniques you used ? Do you hand-draw sketches or you use directly a computer program ^ What about the coloring ? Thanks a lot

      Hi there. I draw it by hand directly onto Photoshop as I have a Screen Tablet, so I draw digitally by hand. The coloring is done the same, so the only limitations to the design would be my own skill.

      If you like my art, but feel a different look is necessary, I have quite a few different styles I can do of which a few are on my profile's porfolio.
