Roller Derby Superhero Girl Concept Sketch

Roller Derby Girl Superhero Cartoon Character Concept Sketch Coghill

This sketch of a superhero roller derby girl was created for a client’s animation project which didn’t end up going past the concept stage.

There were of course a team of roller derby girls, each with their own powers, signature color and element. This girl’s element was obviously “water”.

I liked how this turned out, and it was fun to work in this more realistic cartoon style. I also enjoy coming up with variations on a theme, so I was looking forward to developing the rest of the characters in the group.

Concrete Spreader Hot Rod Goon T-Shirt Sketch

Concrete Riding Trowel Hot Rod Lowbrow Cartoon T Shirt Sketch Coghill

Concrete Riding Trowel Hot Rod Lowbrow Cartoon T Shirt Sketch Coghill

Limited palette sketch for a t-shirt illustration project. The client requested a concrete riding trowel with a character riding it like a hot rod. I went with the classic hot rod goon approach to the character and a fun, loose style to the line art.

I went with a limited palette to keep the screen printing costs down (just 2 inks used here, black and white on a red shirt). I’ve had a lot of fun working with these reduced color drawings lately, and I find they help focus and tighten up the art. They also just look super cool with less colors!

This project never went past the sketch stage, the client went MIA on me but I really liked this sketch and had to share it.
