The other day I was watching Nova's, "Secrets of Stonehenge", which prompted the above tweet and doodle. I thought you guys might enjoy seeing this if you don't follow me already on twitter. :)
Up next is a poster commission I recently wrapped up. I was asked to recreate a poster like the Star Wars wedding one I did last year, but change it to be Chicago with the Trump Tower, different people, more elements of the Star Wars original poster and to make their Great Dane be dressed as Lando (since that is his name!) It's fun to see how much I've grown since last year's project, and I like how it turned out:
Above are some banner sketches I did for the blog, "Smaller Questions" which is about Microbiology, Astronomy and more awesome science stuff. The banner features writers Brooke and Sarah posing with the small objects from their professions! I had a lot of fun working on this one... the original sketches were done on paper and then I built the banner concepts in photoshop. Below is the final banner:
And last but not least, here are two portraits I did for the blog, "Make a living writing", which focuses on freelance writing as a career. The gal who I was drawing, Carol, requested that she have 50's-esque fashion, Jetson style computer for the first illustration and a Peanut's style help desk for the second. She also wanted me to try out different hair styles, so there were a lot of sketches involved in this one, which were also done on paper first! Below is how the final turned out. There is some extra space on the computer and help desk built in the illustration so she can add custom text to it at a later date.
Want to commission me?
I will be taking new projects to start around September 6, so send me an email at san@san-smith.com to discuss what you are wanting!
I'm available for: web banners, portraits, posters, character design, comics, profile icons, etc. You can get ideas from my past commissions here.
