Tasty Rockin Rocky Road Ice Cream Cone

Hello Guys and Gal's.  Here is the Latest of illustration for the "Tasty Collection".  This is the Rockin Rocky Road Ice Cream Cone.  I wanted to choose something a little bit different from the normal ice cream you can think of lol so I chose the rocky road ice cream.  also I'm sorry this took so long.  I am very busy and these illustrations take up most of my free time, this also took a lot of time to finish because for a long time it was just a little bit off, but eventually it came out looking better than I ever could image.

anyway if you like the design and want it yourself then please follow the link below to my RedBubble or my Teepublic

Breakdown
 1.

2.

This is the original concept I did for the rocky road. It was originally going to be a grumpy little rocky road. A lot cuter and has waffle mowhawk.

3.

After doing the redesign I built up the shapes for the body and gave the ice a different ice cream cone shape to the strawberry one.  I was already working on the idea that the rocky road would the and literal rocker / punk rock.  the one this that kept changing was the face.   I was originally going to have a darker shade of the ice cream colour but you could barely see it, so I used the marshmellow instead.

3.

After that I made a pattern for the cone and had it clipped to the 2 cone shapes and the waffle mowhawk.  I took a while of testing the different thickness of the lines for the cone some being way to thick and others were way to thin.  I also added peanuts as it they are piercings and the random marsh mellows on the ice cream.

Finally I added more detail to the ice cream with more crispy bits and a bit of a swirl that I saw in reference images.  I also added the graphic background with kind of like a splatted ice cream and marsh mellows.  the dark pink is the darkest colour for the marsh mellow and the dark brown is for the ice cream.  and the !!!??!! supposed to be a lighter colour to the marsh mellow and also represent the ice cream screaming lol.  I'm really glad I added the graphic because it really makes everything else the image pop and stand out compared to the last one.  I will definitly be adding a graphic onto the strawberry Ice cream so the match but the strawberry will be more toned down compared to this one.

Anyway this is it for this post.  I really hope you like it and if you want let me know what you think.

Tasty Strawberry Ice cream cone

This is the second of the Tasty Collection. A Tasty Strawberry Ice cream with Chocolate Sauce and a Cherry on top. She is the sweetest and the sleepiest.
or try it hear.

Rough

This is the original concept doodle.  Using the same technique from before I tried to keep it as simple as possible while giving it a little life to.

Shapes

after the rough I redesigned the shapes so they were more rounded off and appealing for the character.  I wanted to really make a cute and the roundness helped make the character more appealing.

Finally Shine and the shading.   I kept the colors very vibrant and appealing and also messed around with different shading effects for the gradient in the chocolate sauce, and shade on the strawberry.  If you want this is illustration for yourself you can find it here.

Tasty Pancake

Hello Guys and Gals its been a while.  I have been working a lot recently on a lot of different animation projects to the point where I have very little free time, but I have been working on a collection of art work.  I don't have a name for the collection quite yet so I will call it the "Tasty" collection.  these images will be all themed on sweet and tasty foods with cute faces.  I wanted to try making an original collection of illustrations and this is the first of many.

The first one is tasty pancake.  Its a Tasty pancake relaxing covered in Syrup and loving it. Why because I love pan cakes and really wanted to make a character out of it.

Breakdown

1

This is the original Rough of the image and was with all the other doodles.  I have been Experimenting with colour and mostly flat shape.  it was more of trying to bring out the character it the image and I was thinking of the syrup being almost like oil and thought of a pancake tanning in the sun with the syrup.  The muppets with also a huge inspiration for there use of simple shape and color.

Basic flat shapes

I continued to build up the flat shapes in photoshop and keeping it more rounded off as possible.

the simple shapes were really important, to keep the nice vibe and character in the illustration.

final

after that I mess around with the clipping tool the different shapes to add the gradient shading and the reflective light and shade of the syrup.

Thank you so much for looking at the first of many Tasty's.  If you like the illustration and want it for yourself follow the links bellow.
