Tigerprint Design Competition: Kids Character Creation

I have rushed a design and here is the entry I have submitted to Tigerprint Design Competition.  This time the theme is to create a character card for a boy or girl aged between 8 and 12 years old.  The target is Marks & Spencer customers. 

Okay, kids of this age range are in higher classes in primary schools.  I believe that apart from playing with iPad and electronic games, they still love to go out, to go to the countryside for some physical games and fresh air.  I think flying kites can be a good idea.  Kids can enjoy themselves by competing with each other to fly their kites higher, and higher.

This is the first time I enter this competition.  Although it is a competition, for me, it is just for fun.

MATS Bootcamp May Editorial Illustration - Submitted!

For this month's Bootcamp assignment, we have to create an editorial illustration is to suit the article titled "How to Meditate: A Primer for People Who Don't Like to Meditate".

The author of this article is a female Acupuncturist, Doctor of Chinese Medicine, so my centre character is a lady. To add life and fun to the overall ambiance, I have included my favorite Cat and little Fish. Surrounding the characters sitting at the centre meditating, I have included all the excuses that may prevent them from concentrating in their meditation. Mobile phone vibrating, "My mind cannot settle down", "(Meditation is) Not for me", "(Meditation is) Too new age-y", "(I have a) New book idea", "Something needs to be done now", Hug a friend, "Business will fall apart", thinking of enjoying a coffee and donuts, enjoying a hot bath, etc.

I have attempted in three color variations and have decided to submit the one more intense in the blues. I feel that it makes the character(s) as well as the text "The Moment" pop better. I struggled if any text should be included indeed. At last, I used "The Moment" (and not words such as How To Meditate? etc. etc.) because "The Moment" is the focus of meditation. In the article, it has repeatedly mentioned that by meditating, it can "gently but firmly bring your mind back to the moment". The Moment is key.

I hope you enjoy my artwork - whether you like or don't like to meditate. :-)


I have submitted this one, mainly in blues.





Yellow was added to the blue background.

Yesterday's contribution to @Daily_Doodle colored in gouache.

I wish to use my NinjaCat and NinjaBird to create stories.  Maybe it will be great to start by incorporating them into the snapshots submitting to @Daily_Doodle (http://www.twitter.com/Daily__Doodle).
