Koala Bear Underwear

You ever see a Koala boy hugging a giant gem in those tighty whities?

Well, there you go.

It’s that Koala Bear Underwear!

I have had this idea for a couple weeks but wasn’t quite sure how to follow through with it. A sweet koala boy grabbing hold of a chaos emerald with no sign of letting go. Giving you that mean mug.

My original plan was to put this gem in this koala boy’s front as opposed to have him clinging on it. Might try a variation with that as well.

Sketched this in my little sketchbook pretty quickly actually. You’d think I would be a pro at drawing these gems by now, but they always prove to be a pain in my butt.  Thought it was going to be a cakewalk after I drew the koala, but nope! That big bad gem had other plans. Just getting the angles right without making it look to thin or too fat was tricky. Finally got it though!

Snapped a pic with my fossil phone and imported it into Illustrator! I actually screen recorded pretty much the entire process too. I’m not sure if it will be boring or not. Things really didn’t start to come together until I started dropping colors down. The basic vector outline looked pretty boring. I think it started looking better when I played around with the outline color.

Anyway, this Koala boy is available on Redbubble now. And by the way. Redbubble has clocks now. That’s dope. I’ve been waiting for them to release something like that because I think they’re the coolest product for some reason. Check those out!

I’m working on another drawing process too. This one will be in Photoshop though. Should be finished…  Soon-ish.

Hey guys! Happy holidays and everything! I hope all your dreams come true! Yahoo!
