Hi, here's my first submission for you. I made the aardvark character with personality, using glasses and suit to match with your business. He can also be made in different poses for marketing purposes. Fun yet professional but not too childish. Let me know what you think and please leave any feedback to get better result.
This is a great start. Love the personality. Could you make him in another color (maybe light brown), with a black or drak gray suit and blue or green tie? Love the glasses, hair. Would like to see him without the thumbs up and with hands down or maybe with a suit case.
Have a feeling I may like him in green better than brown like our logo. If so, maybe make his suit the same color as the brown in our logo. Our colors are below. Thanks again. Love the design!
actually the idea using the green color for the mascot was because to match with your logo but then it seems too dark.. but I will show you how it looks.
Think I do like the darker suit in brown and that it might look better with entry 4 and the lighter green aardvark. Interested to see what the aardvark will look like in a tan and/or lighter brown color.
Think I like entry 8 better with the aardvark in a tan type color. Maybe put a green tie on him to match logo a bit better. Terrific work! Heading to bed soon as we approach midnight though I'm certain I'll wake up to some revisions. Thanks again. Pleasure working with you.
I think you are going to be an early winner. Was hoping for a few small changes: 1.) Would you change the tie from red to the darker green color in our logo. 2.) Would you please change the gold buckle on his briefcase to a silver. 3.) It looks like his jacket color is the brown in our logo. Is that correct?
Do you have any other ideas for positions for him? Was thinking of maybe making him into a piggy bank. Will we be able to retain you for different poses in the future?
Thanks again. Absolutely terrific work and head and shoulders above your peers!
okay, here are the updates : #17 with green tie and silver buckle #18 #19 for another poses. I'm not sure about making him as piggy bank though.. because the coins of the piggy bank are insert into piggy bank's back, while this mascot is stand up pose. Any ideas?
As for the jacket, yes you're right. I'm using the exact color from your logo.
Regarding retain me in the future for different poses, of course I would be more than happy for it! I'm sure it would be great to working with you after this contest. Just can't wait to complete this contest and then we can moving forward to create several poses for your marketing purposes.
Congratulations on your victory. You are a talented illustrator. I look forward to working with you in coming up with new poses.
Does your company work with other firms in making promotional items out of the characters. For example, I'd like to make a stuffed animal, stress ball and/or piggy bank if possible out of "Arnie the Aardvark" if possible.
Thanks for sending the download. Would you mind also sending the other two versions you did for us?
