Sacred Squirrel

The client had previously purchased a stock graphic by James Adams that he wanted refined into a logo for a band. The two parameters he gave me were that it be brown and have a superhero feel. After completing the inital coloring phase, I decided to add extrusions and shadows to give the image more depth and texture. Finally, to complete the look, I recolored the tip of the squirrel's tail with some red, white, and blue. I also added a red superhero mask. Between the shadowing and the mask, I was able to take an image that was initially very flat looking and give it a mysterious flare.

To see the stages of creation, move your mouse across the meter.
