Creating The Logo for a New Comic

Owen Jollands of FreshSqueezedLetters took a task of designing a cartoon-inspired logo for PISSY PUSSY (©DARKBRAIN Comics LLC, All Rights Reserved) written by the Publisher & EIC Andrew Zar and illustrated by moi. 

Hence my involvement with the [pissed-off human feline character] figure that should appear as an organic part of the said logo.

Suffice to say, Omni-Talented Owen also coloured the complete art but at the end of a day a different colour scheme was chosen by the Zealous Mr. Zar so the logo actually looks like this:

The very drawing is un-inked, meaning - it remained in its pencil stage [green 2mm lead, H 2mm lead in clutch pencils] on A4 printer paper, only darkened in Photoshop after scanning. The WIP looks like this:

Looking For the Right Colour

©DARKBRAIN Comics LLC

This is an unintentional homage of sorts to Andy Warhol with the 'wall' created by this comics character's initial creator Andrew Zar, DarkBrain Comics LLC founder & EIC (I am a visual co-creator and artist who drew this illustration, colouring the main character pink).

In the end, PISSY PUSSY's final skin colour is chosen to be a light-green. 

Drawn with Faber-Castell mechanical pencil with 2mm green lead and tightened with 2mm Caran D'Ache leadholder containing H graphite lead. Not inked - darkened in Photoshop to blacken the linework and coloured in the same program.
