oh hell yeah! This is gonna be awesome, as most of your recent stuff has been awesome.

The big fella is holding the boat by the tow cord. Not so obvious at the moment. Just thought I'd submit this sketch to see direction you think I should take it and to get some early feedback.

apetastic! looking forward to seeing a more finished version.

Loverly.

it looks really cool, i love the boat speeding away.

dude!! stop dominating!! you're getting sooo good

Thanks dawg!

this is so good, i actually really like the sketch as well but i can see the final version turning out great

dude, i love how you post these and show us the progress of them all, now if you could type up a blog on how you actually go from point A to point B and to point C deez nutz, thatd be fuckin fantastic!



this ones gonna rock, much like your other ones

^like his idea.

Well - its inked and vectored. I adjusted the hands to look more realistic and the water/splashing effect will be added with the colour. The brow of the creature looks quite dark at the moment, but everything will balance out when I apply the shade. As usual, any thoughts or comments are appreciated. Must fly for now, but will maybe have an update tomorrow.

The only work it needs is some color. I think the drawing is awsome

A very rough paint layer just to help choose the colour direction. The more 'realstic' version 3 or the more subtle version 4... version 4 uses only 4 colours so far so I can add another colour. Please let me know what you think. Thanks

V3 was better. V4 makes the gorilla too transparent and not stand out.

agreed. V3 was better.

I concur.

V3 also.

go with the blues! green might work also dunno

V3! Your critiques are always the most interesting

Got more done than I thought I would and I'm now almost there - still a bit of detail to go. Let me know what you think, so I can make adjustments if necessary. Thanks.

the gorillas face is really emotionless. You could tense him up a bit.



Then again, it kinda works though because of the contrast between that and the frantic people.

Ok, will work on the face. Anything from anyone else? :)

Huh?

Did he take the canoe for a banana ?

Haha. Yeah. Thats the idea. And it's a banana boat. If thats not obvious, this could be a problem. Please everyone say - is it clear or not?

its super clear

yeah, its clear.



You should post a mock-up because I bet it looks really good on a shirt. Its similar to the rhino one, and that one looks great on the shirt.

Ok, I think it's done, and I wanted to show it before submission incase there's a consensus on anything that needs improvement. I've spent a bit more time fine-tuning it, and added a name to the boat. I hope nobody asks me to lose the text. :) Your feedback is valued!

Oh, and I made the banana boat a bit more like a banana boat, and less like a canoe.

very nice, but if i was driving that speed boat, i wouldn't go that close to a giant ape just chillin in the water like that. and don't tell me he just popped out and grabbed that banana aff of a sudden. it appears too shallow for that possibilty. captian "venture" just thought it'd be funny, huh?

if thats going to be your preview i suggest you ditch the large version on the bottom left, it's kinda distracting and you'll get some idiots going "you only need one speedboat!" =P

Haha. Its not going to be my submission image. I was just showing a bit of detail.

Huh?

Well. If you've nothing further to add, I shall submit aforementioned design henceforth.

4tw
