Illustrica title board, opening with a pencil sketch and the collection title

A running collection of character illustration from 2022 and 2023: creatures, deities and oddities drawn in Procreate and Illustrator, most of them built to land on a t-shirt.

Where a piece started from a photographed reference, the reference sits beside it. The finished art is shown twice, once flat and once on the garment it was drawn for.

Creative Fields

The disciplines the collection is filed under on Behance.

Character Design

Concept art, digital illustration and drawing.

Digital Painting

Procreate for the painted and textured pieces.

Vector

Adobe Illustrator for the flat, print-ready apparel graphics.

Artwork

Standalone pieces alongside the applied work.

Colour Work

Board of colour character illustrations with matching apparel mockups — Full-colour characters, each paired with the tee it was drawn for and, where one exists, the reference that started it.

Scenes & Prints

Board of illustrated scenes, including a snail-shell home office, shown as framed prints and shirts — Pieces that work as scenes more than badges, shown framed as well as printed.

Ink & Monochrome

Board of monochrome line-art illustrations and their apparel applications — The line-work series, the same characters resolved in single-colour ink.
