Illustration Friday: Simple



I thought these characters would work well for this week's theme of Simple. They were all designed and made in Macromedia Flash, which helped me to keep everything down to simplified shapes.

These guys were all designed to be the staff of a museum. There's the museum director with the peg leg (arrgh matey), bunch of tour guides and docents, the janitor, some misc. curators, head of security, the guy in the orange space suit is the conservationist. And natuarally, after drawing all of these, they were scrapped. We decided to simplify, and cut it down to just 4 kids. You can see the latest version of the kids in the previous post.
