Promotional Stickers, Logo and Business Card!

The last couple of weeks have been pretty hectic, designing and illustrating all of the below Purple Tigress promotional items (and I still have the postcards, posters and portfolios to get done in the next two weeks), as well as staying on top of my other three units such as; Illustration Masterclass, Interactive Web Design, and Image Compositing. 

It'll all be over in a few weeks and I can make a start on research/development/plotting for my upcoming web-comic, Dragon Delusion, which I hope to begin the production for, by the end of 2014. But you'll be seeing many more posts about the Dragon Delusion project in the future!

These are the Purple Tigress sticker promos, I decided to do a linking dragon theme, just because I love drawing dragons so much! So basically, I designed these dragons so that they would look like they were made out of certain materials/elements, which the final designs are crystal, fire, water, metal and bone. I also wanted to inject a sense of personality into them through their body language and expression, (like I usually do with my dragons), because it better reflects my illustrative approach, rather than random epic poses and colours, which at the end of the day, have no real purpose or substance other than to 'look cool'.

The final Purple Tigress logo is the shield of arms inspired design, the early stages of development can be seen here, but I chose this concept for its uniqueness and adaptability into various digital as well as print formats.

The stripes have been reduced in number to increase the logo's visibility at a smaller scale, and I've changed its decorative stripes on the shoulder and cheek to resemble the letters of my initials, a bit of an 'easter egg' of sorts, for those who are observant enough to make that connection.

This is the final business card for Purple Tigress, I'm waiting for the first batch to arrive in the mail, along with the stickers.

The cream and purple go together quite well, as you can see, and I've duotoned some previews of my illustrations with the same cream and purple on the back of the card. After much dwelling over fonts, I'd finally found one that reflected the Purple Tigress fantasy illustration theme, without being too decorative and taking the focus from the logo.

There are a range of duotoned illustration previews on the back of the card to select from!

 And now I should go and figure out what I'll do for posters and post cards..
