My approach was a combination of traditional Carroll's mad mixes with the line drawing style of the classic illustrations by John Tenniel.
Instead of Alice going down the hole, we have a rabbit-in-the-hat and a posh pigeon going out.
It was hand drawn and inked on paper, color is digital.
Hope you like it!")

Use light colors to give a clean and warm impression and the Cashew flower in the mouth to relate it directly to the product.
The lines are curves mostly to give a healthy and soft look.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/99/99753/attachment_99753480 "A vlogger family ask for a unicorn and a robot characters that can be matched and also used for patterns.
Both have the toys concept, with a vintage touch, the unicorn as a rag doll and the robot with idea of the \"Lost in space\" TV series robot.
For the pattern they are dancing the \"backpack kid\" viral dance.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/99/99687/attachment_99687737 "Taking advantage of a 99 designs contest based on the phrase \"Creativity meets Possibility\" I think about this concept.
Back in high school at a statistics lecture, the professor told that zero possibility does not exists statistically so, everything has the possibility to exist even if the chance is very low. That lesson somehow mark the path I follow as an artist, close to surrealism and it's the memory that came to mind by the \"Creativity meets possibility\" theme.
In this case, the meeting point is a flying turtle, or a turtle with a creative idea that gives it the possibility to fly.")

:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/99/99115/attachment_99115882 "The client ask for a purple colored angry, but funny female character.
The goal for me was to create a character that remind the viewer of that person that seems to be on any social circle that only complains about everything in a sarcastic way.
Because of the color I give her a \"punk\" look and attitude.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/96/96545/attachment_96545440 "The client ask for a mascot monster to represent the dangers of the red dye 40. It causes problems in teeth, besides hyperactivity and aggressiveness.
Kids usually don´t really like to be call \"babies\", once they feel that they are grown up, but the effects of the Red Dye 40 seems to make them like babies: Hyperactivity, bad humor, trouble concentrating, that´s why I represent those problems in this monster, and add the diapers.
It has little feet and hands so the kids don´t see him as a threat (diapers also help), even with the big mouth and rotten teeth.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/94/94931/attachment_94931655 "Client ask for a boxing rocket trashing some technology. The idea was to attract young people to make more exercise and have a healthier living not so tech-oriented.
As they were working with kids I add the head protections in amateur boxing but avoiding too much aggressiveness in the character.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/94/94555/attachment_94555825 "Client ask for a monster character to represent a software error that produce a purple \"death screen\".
I pictured it as the monster paint the screen purple, a hooligan monster that spray cans on the screen.
I remember the original gremlins, not just those from the movie, the ones that allegedly would destroy any machine just for the pleasure of chaos, so I make the Purple monster gremlin-like.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/93/93905/attachment_93905965 "The client give the synopsis of a future steam punk novel, for us to illustrate the cover.
My approach is subtle, giving just a hint to the mystery the story spins around.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/93/93312/attachment_93312014 "This is a \"scene\" to illustrate an educational program -that's why the \"marvellous\" repeating-. The client ask for Victorian characters chatting in the park.")
:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/93/93677/attachment_93677833 "The client ask for a beaver mascot for an annual swimming event in the city of Dresden, Germany.
My goal was to portrait the beaver as a child and all the swimming stuff they like. They already have palmed feet, so they become swimming fins, the tale a surf table and just added the googles and a floater with Dresden city official colors.
All of it around a happy attitude.")
