avo Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Hi all, my name is Gregory and i'm a designer and illustrator (and a some other -er and -or :). I really like AD a lot, i'm using it for all my stuff from web design to doodling, so i'd like to share this small image i did back in May — its a kind of character, i doodle them a lot. So i decided to vectorize this one. Have a nice day everyone!

peter Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Hi Gregory. There's a lot of Hindiusm in this picture, what is your source of inspiration? Is it religious art or is it more travelling? I could see this picture on the back of a tuk-tuk and expect it to have been there forever. Either way you've got a style that sits quite easily between India and what was once called Indo-China. What is that font? What does it say? Well done. avo 1 Quote MacBook pro, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB, OS X 10.11.6 http://www.pinterest.com/peter2111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avo Posted June 14, 2015 Author Share Posted June 14, 2015 Peter, i'm not sure about Hinduism, but i'm really impressed by culture of my own country - Russia, so this rat is mostly about old Russian popular style called "Lubok" - this is where i actually got an inspiration... I'm doing some more complicated illustrations in this style, also i'm learning a lot about Russian traditional toys and ornaments. An Affinity Designer makes this process much more pleasureful ) As to font, its a variant of Russian traditional monumental script, called Viaz'. It appeared a lot on the stone walls of palaces and cathedrals... Here it says "Belial", as this rat has something demonic in its look, as it seems to me.

There are similarities, after all ancient Indians are said to be ancestors of european and east-european tribes Quote Follow me on Dribbble https://dribbble.com/g-avoyan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
