IMD I - 3rd Hour EEL EMPIRE!

We will be wrapping up our flash illustration this week.

I'd like you to create your own cartoon character super hero that can be scanned and traced in flash.  You may use other drawings as reference images.  Create a unique character, go beyond duplication of another artists work.  You may create a traditional drawing or use photoshop to create a "new" super hero by combining several images.  I present Eel Man as a sample.  Note that since the image is designed to be traced selections can be a little sloppy.

Silly or serious, take your pick.  Make sure you create something interesting that can be used in your portfolio.

This assignment is due on Friday of this week.

The drawing / photoshop document should reflect at least 2 hours of work.
