For the past few months, in between various other jobs, I’ve been working on a series of 12 animal illustrations for Ferdy Christant , a developer that is creating a very unique social networking site for animal enthusiasts (I know I’m over-simplifying it) called Jungle Dragon. A while back, I created the lizard icon/mascot for the site. The illustrations will be used in various ways throughout the site, as well as marketing materials in the lead up to the site launch date. Well, I finally completed the final illustration and wanted to share all of them with you.

Each of the illustrations was completed entirely in Adobe Photoshop CS4 without any preliminary sketches thanks to Ferdy giving me free reign. I used various reference images for the creatures and started with a blank canvas using Photoshop’s pen, marque, shape and brush tools. Each image took from 4 to 6 hours to complete.
