Quixote Windmills

The windmill scene in "Don Quixote" has always been an interesting character design idea to me - designing a fantastical creature whose structure is based on a piece of architecture. I recently did this quick one-off of a test of some color and form ideas I was having.

Fruits

There's a pretty popular book called "Fruits", and it documents the underground fashion culture in Japan. Highly recommended for those who are looking for some real creativity when it comes to clothing design.

Anyhow, as I was working on a recent episode, i did some doodles of some age-appropriate versions of the people in that book. Here are a few that didn't make the cut.

Creature Comfort

Every so often I like to dip my toe into the creature pool and see what happens. Here are a couple of variations on a theme of a certain kind of creature made for riding.

Re-Design Part Two - Clockwork Orange


Here's another one of my redesign assignments. I took Clockwork Orange and set it during the Spanish Inquisition. It seemed like a natural match to me, as it allowed for a similar exploration of the concept of the state 'reprogramming' deviants. Anyhow, below are some results, beginning with character designs, and leading into more overall setting and background designs.

Minister Brodsky - the head of the specific church that tries to 'cure' Alejandro (above) of his deviant ways.


A local tramp - he's got leprecy. Why not.


A couple of townspeople.


A booth at the "Corona Hooka Bar" - the substitute for the Korova Milk Bar in the story.



A detail of some of the possible hookas at the bar.


The brothel where the boys confront another gang who is about to rape a prostitute.


The church bell tower from which Alejandro leaps after being 'converted'...momentarily.



The central altar of Minister Brodsky's church. A (not-so) subtle attempt at inserting innuendo into bg design.

Dodgeball

A quick homage to a favorite rite of passage for all kids growing up in this country...
