if you’re like me, after you accomplish something, you completely erase it from your memory banks because my brain only allows me to recall egregious mistakes. Doesn’t want me to get puffed up and egotistical, I suppose. So I completely forgot about this kickass commission I drew at some time in the misty past, like August or September. It was a birthday present for the client’s partner, and I promised not to share it until said partner’s birthday, which is today!
Happy Birthday, Cam!
The client wanted a design that reflected her partner’s gaming tag, and, if I could fit it in, his zodiac sign. Admittedly, that scorpion didn’t make things easy: scorpions are small and covered in fidgety details in comparison to nice, chunky design elements like giant saguaros and skulls. I had to draw that little dude like 5 times before I was comfortable with him but he came out pretty cute and a little bit dangerous in the end.
In reality, the scorpions around here are itty bitty, like an inch or 2 long, but mature saguaros are like 40 feet high, so everyone got the Alice in Wonderland treatment.
If you follow this blog, you know I can work in many styles and am always thrilled to collaborate with clients on projects like this. Design work starts at $300 for this kind of logo.
