Pinups - Mini Melon Logo Caricature!

I've had a wonderful return client, Vanna, ask me once again to collaborate! This time in creating her new logo featuring her Persona "Mini Melon". She will be using this pinup caricature for her very popular youtube channel.

Being amazing, she even featured Cuphead on it.

Vanna Melon Youtube ^_^

I think it turned out adorable, and she was very happy with the result! Here's Mini Melon!

You can also check out some of the other adorable Mini Melon pinups that I created earlier on:

Pinups - Mini Melon

Cuphead - Pip and Dot - the Domino

Another boss I had the pleasure of animating and designing for King Dice's Palace, is this odd couple: Pip and Dot! :) They're a sassy Domino Duo who spend their life on a trapeze! I thought of them as husband and wife... they're pretty close!

Intro and Idle Animation

Hat Attack

And Mouth Attack

And my favorite death of all Cuphead! :D

And some of my favorite stills of Pip and Dot!

Dot... is. not. happy.

Cuphead - Hopus Pocus - Magician Rabbit

CUPHEAD is LIVE! What an amazing trip this has been! Not only am I so proud of our incredible team at Studio MDHR, but also amazed by the awesome fan response! Extra bonus - I finally get to share some of the work I got to do on the game!

First up - Hopus Pocus - one of King Dice's villain buddies that you fight in the Casino. He was by far my favorite to animate. I think I connected with him on a psychological level? ;)

Hopus Pocus Idle!

His Attack!

And his death animation!

And here are some of my favorite drawings - especially love my fun smear drawing from his attack! What a fun character he was to animate!

Cuphead - Baroness Von Bon Bon Pencil Test

The Cuphead countdown is on!!! Just 18 more days! My lovely bosses, Studio MDHR, are posting Cuphead pencil tests each day counting down till launch!

The first one they posted was Baroness Von Bon Bon - a character which I had the honor of animating/designing!

Here is her animation!

Cuphead and Conan

The entire #Cuphead Team is SO excited to have our game featured on Conan O'Brien's "Clueless Gamer" show! :D It just aired yesterday!!!

When we first found out, Caitlin (our super talented background artist, and mega-Conan-fan) and I decided collaborate and send Conan a "Cuphead" style Caricature along with the game! :D Now that the spot has finally aired, we get to share it! I did the drawing and ink work, Caitlin did the awesome watercolor colors!

Go Cuphead GO!

And if you haven't watched, here is the Clueless Gamer episode to watch!

#DragRace #sashavelour

Drag QUEENS

So I'm a big fan of Ru Paul's Drag Race - and in my excitement of watching Season 9, I decided to draw a poster of SOME (not all, because there are too many) of my favorite drag queens! I just finished the sketch - I hope to color each and every one of these, whenever I have "free" time... which is not often!

For all the Drag Race fans out there - can you name them all? :D

CUPHEAD - Release Date!

The game I have been working on for the past TWO years finally has a release date! :D I'm so proud and excited to be part of this amazing team of talent. Here is the new release date trailer:

Two of my characters made the trailer! :) Roulette Ballerina and the Woodpecker! I'm so excited to share more or my work once the game is released SEPTEMBER 29TH!

Pinups - Mini Melon

SUCH a fun pinup for the lovely Vanna! She wanted two pinup poses of her mascot character called Mini Melon - to gift to her boyfriend as a birthday surprise! It was a lot of fun working with a fictional character - it was great to let lose a bit!

According to her last note - he loved them! And one of them is now his phone screen. :)

Here is cheeky Mini Melon! Vanna was a model client - hopefully we can work together again!

Logo - What's Blooming

This was such a touching commission! This logo is for a returning client, Jennifer, for her new Flower Shop - "What's Blooming". She wanted to honor her grandmother who passed last year at the age of 95. She loved flowers, and had that timeless retro-class about her, that I love!

While working on this commission, I got news from Poland that my own adopted grandmother, Ciocia Kasia, passed away. I had so hoped to see her on my next visit to Poland, but it was not to be. I poured extra love into this piece, and thought of both amazing ladies as I worked.

What's Blooming! Dedicated to grandmothers everywhere! Maybe this business flourish!

Pinup - Beth

Pinup of the lovely Beth for her Photography business! :D Accompanied by her adorable little dog!

Logo Design - Audio Pol

Another little logo design job! This time it's for an audio-book company that my Mom is starting with the help of a friend. They want to specialize in audio books for the polish community living in Canada.

Here is their final choice!

And here are some of the other options I designed!

Pinup - Anne Marie

First Valentine's day pinup! This is Anne Marie, who requested a KICK-ASS theme for this pinup of herself - to give as a V-day gift to her wife. Yay to my first Star Wars themed pinup! What took so long?? :D

She wanted the pinup to be sassy, and fun! I had a blast with this one!

She was going to wait for Valentine's day, but supposedly got too excited and showed her wife early! I therefore got the go-ahead to post it to my blog.

Both ladies are super happy with it - and are looking to have this pinup printed!

Logo Design - MAC Productions

Here is a little kind-hearted project I did for a University Film Club called MAC Productions. This is the final logo that they picked (my favourite!!). As I am generally no graphic designer, I'm pretty happy with the end result!

And here was the whole set of various choices I created. I liked option 1, but definitely option 5 is  my favourite, and I'm so happy that they decided to go with it!

Pinup - Tara

KICK ASS CHICK !!! :D This is Tara, a bad-ass lady who is into roller-derby. Her skate name is "Knock-out", hence the boxing gloves. SUCH fun working on this one! :) Lovely client as well!

Pinup - Amanda

Another holiday pinup! :) This is Amanda, and the pinup was for her lovely husband, as a surprise gift.

Pinup - Audrey

Happy New Year! :D

New year - more pinups! This was a commission by a lovely mom who wanted to give a pinup caricature as a Christmas gift for her spunky daughter Audrey - who's into sciences and has a really cool, edgy style!

I got a lovely message from Audrey herself after the holidays, saying she loved her likeness! So gift was a success! :D Yay!
