Give it up for... Hip - Hop

shoutOut on 1/12/08 by beerad11 in

I love working with vectors, and especially characters.
I thought i would create an animal toon instead of a person toon…

I was thinking of different types of animals that i could use, while listening to my favorite Hip – Hop group, “Hilltop Hoods”

It all of a sudden came to me that a frog is a really “different” animal to portray, so i decided on it!!!
Whilst designing the amphibian, it occurred to me that a frog hops from lily pad to lily pad, hence where the text comes into play.

Hope you guys like it???

Sorry Mikdog, I have to disagree. I like the frog speaking, it really helps link the text to the frog. While it would be pretty obvious without the speech bubble, I just like the way it works.
I love that frog man, definite win

Man. I like it but the speech ballon with the text inside it makes it look lank cheap. Without it, MUUUCH better. Just put your thumb over the speech ballon on the shirt and you’ll check. Sigh.

Should of turned the “hip hop into a chain or necklace so it doesnt look like you just threw on some text.
