The past month has been an interesting time for AeroMaiden. I ended up not getting much done as I focused my attention on my second brand, CrossBred. I hit a wall with needed artwork for both website and packaging.

I ended up putting time into enhancing my “art” skills. Since I don’t plan on doing final artwork in the near future, I worked on my process to get ideas and concepts across to artists. Breaking out the tablet I wanted to work on a smooth process that emphasized clear ideas.

As you can see, the process to develop art took a number of revision steps along the way. Characters were an especially difficult challenge as I am not well versed in character design. Coming up with accurate poses and interesting looks required its own development along the way.

Ultimately I feel the work paid off in droves. The artwork above has culminated into final artwork and a T-shirt I can wear. Because of this I am confident I can move back into AeroMaiden work and get the artwork I need for my packaging and website.
