Custom Work : Process illustration BITCH inc

[private]This one is one of  the most recent Custom illustration works which was really fun to do! wondering what is this BITCH inc is ? wait till i explain it to you and you will be surprised how creative these people went with the name! and then wait ….their  illustration request  was even more “strange” for me !

BITCH stands for Babe in Total Charge Of Herself  here is the link to their site .

The request was to create a custom character somewhat like the little girl riding a bike which already graces their home page . The Little girl had to be in total control of the bike which is too big for herself , while being naked(in a discreet way)

I was given a few reference photographs to work with .

bitch1

After a few initial sketches we decided on the way and the place where she would appear . Luckily we didn’t have to follow round of sketches the initial sketch was approved and was agreed upon for final rendering. Here is the initial sketch which we agreed upon.

sketch2

After the finalization of sketch i started converting it , with just 2-3 rounds of reviews we got what we wanted!

It was fun working on this illustration as i was allowed to freely work on this . I tried to give it every bit of feminine feel to the whole illustration as i could . And i really loved the final outcome. final

Free Textures : A Bit of This A bit of That

[private]Ok here i am after a while with textures , these are not really something new that i had . These pictures were taken around a year back while i was exploring some surfaces so this is a little mix up of this and that which i have just uploaded for free download and also for commercial use if needed.

The Free Version is a good 1500 px which is rarely found on other free texture sites. So it is a good find i think. Here are the previews click on the pics to be taken to the download page.
