Details in the pixels
While waiting for my new web domain to get registered I've been working on details of my pixelated twin for the business card. It always amazes me how much a few choice pixels placed differently change an entire expression on a face or silhouette of an element when working on a small scale. I widened the eyes a bit, tried to make them look more specular and added a wider range of shadows and highlights to the face as well as more detail to the pants and shoes. Final touch was a subtle hue gradient in the shirt and pants. Still more to go I think but getting closer, hopefully by the time the domain is registered I can send these off to print!

Redesigning my business card
I've been working with the print shop on a self assembled papercraft business card. My initial mockup relied on strips of adhesive which has been difficult to get manufactured for a small run budget. The print shop can score, die-cut and perforate which still gives me a lot of options. After several experiments and advice from co-workers I created a built-in lock/tab into the card which is working really well in my mockups.
Now I've been working on what to put on the back of the card. I like the idea of leaving a template for anyone to make their own designs and flip it inside out to show them off - like a blank Dunny. I could also put another character or version on the other side, or put the same character but from the inside-out, like my brains, or make it like a cyborg, or little hamsters running on a wheel... ooh maybe I should include stickers too, like mustaches, monocle, ties, etc!

I pixel pixels
Something I've been working on lately, having fun getting back into pixel art and combining it with paper craft.
