Bittersweet: it’s my good friend Stephenie’s last day at JPL, before moving on to new things. Â In typically entertaining style, here she is posing in my motorcycle helmet. Â We’ll miss you around here, Steph!

This is an expansion of yesterday’s sketch, prepping for the same digital illustration perspective assignment. Â I like the angle, but I was thinking of making it more visually interesting by putting it in that leather-helmets era of 1920s-ish college football. Â Could make for a good color palette and design aesthetic in the final piece. Â Also, I like the idea of having an unexpectedly female quarterback who’s about to make the big, game-winning play. Â I forgot to fix the proportions before doing this fleshed-out version, but I figured that could be fixed later in Illustrator.
Then I realized something: there’s no actual action taking place here. Â There’s anticipation of action, but that’s it. Â So the inset sketch is a new idea that would integrate action directly between the foreground and background elements. Â Of course, it also trades female empowerment for imminent demise of small, furry creatures. Â Hope that doesn’t reveal something about the artist…

Actually, this is just another little thing I’m working on for JPL. I was just trying to get the positioning figured out for a little web graphic. Â This wasn’t designed as a sketch for this project, but I’m busy, so it’ll do!
