Native American Mascots

Visualizing the image for schools can be tricky when it comes to all of the Native American mascots in our area. How to depict the characters, what they wear, what they are doing needs to be both respectful and tell the story of the composition. This design called for the inclusion of a waterway so that sometimes helps. Who wouldn't want to be canoeing down a creek in Pennsylvania?

My process for motion in cartoon images

Going from concept to finish is the most exciting part of creating art. The images have to stay consistent, stay true to the composition, and keep an element of humor imbedded to keep the viewers interest. In this case the client wanted a drawing of their mascot facing off with the mascot of a rival school to use to promote an upcoming game. Working with Knights and Rams leaves a lot of possibilities, I hope people appreciate the solution I came up with.
