CD cover


CD cover design for two guys who like a folk art, cool, colorful, kid friendly feel. The target was small children and their parents, of course. Done for a contest, I don't think I will win so here is the place for this small work.

Illustrator mon amour!
Can help myself, so much potential in this software and still new for me. I'm working on a series of teenagers characters, from time to time I'll post some to balance the dark mood pieces.

BabaYaga aka BabaCloanta



A character design done for a contest and also for fun.
In Slavic folklore, a witch-like character who flies around on a giant mortar, kidnaps (and presumably eats) small children, and lives in a house on chicken feet (wiki). There's a Romanian version called Baba Cloanta named after her nose like a scavenger beak. Spooohhhoooooky...

NObreathing


Character for the CA weekly contest
Chow145: Supervillain Self-Portrait
Here's my concept:
Due to a mistreatment of a rare bacteria infection as asthma that implicated steroid abuse, NObreathing, with her lungs completely destroyed, found a way to survive. She needs huge O2 quantities that only by processing Earth's atmosphere can be supplied, and that makes her not a nice person. She is bounded to a tornado machine, with the only superpower that steroids can can give: super aggressivity!
