Algonquin College; Mascot character design for skateboard business

This art project was created while studying at Algonquin College as an assignment to design a mascot character for a fictional skateboard company. The character was designed with a mixture of traditional and digital tools, including pencil, vector, and pixel art in Illustrator and Photoshop.

The character has long arms and a slouching posture to capture the essence of teenagers who love skateboarding. His flat face is a result of wiping out on the board and landing on his face one too many times. The humorous design aims to bring a smile to the viewer's face and represent the fun-loving spirit of the skateboard community.
