Alien Sphinx
Alien Sphinx color sketch, originally uploaded by Coghill Cartooning.
Working color sketch for a personal series of bizarre creatures I work on from time to time.
Wanted to get some of these fleshed out. Scanned the original into Photoshop and cleaned up and did the coloring in Photoshop CS4 using a Wacom Untus4 medium graphics tablet.
this will need some further refinements to the overall drawing – not happy with the uraeus snake on the top (looks like a question mark!) and the tail needs some reworking.
Just wanted to share the progress at this stage.

Rough sketch for a client project. Cartoon gorilla character design.
Blue Goon
Just quick post to show the “blue goon” drawing I did for tonight’s artcast.
Unfortunately I forgot to hit “Record” for the show, so it was a live event only. Next time!
The “blue goon” character was created in Adobe Photoshop CS4 with a Wacom Intuos4 graphics tablet and some store-brand Sudafed to ease my cold & sinus symptoms.
Gar Trader – Cigar-Chompin’ Tough Guy Cartoon Character
I recently created this cool cigar-smoking thug character & logo for the cigar aficionado store and message board website Gar Trader. The above artwork and design is actually an alternate version I created for the client, the final was required to be much, much smaller to fit into his website, but he also wanted to be able to offer t-shirts and other merchandise so I created this version (which is my personal fave).
Daily Flock – Aviator Bird Cartoon Character Mascot & Logo
I created this cartoon aviator bird mascot character and the website banner seen above for a recent client. The name of the company & website was “Daily Flock” so we knew the mascot was going to be bird-related. The website offers local New York City bargains, so the idea was that the website scoured the city for shopping deals for you. I suggested an aviator bird, and the client loved the idea.
Roof Factory – Carpenter Dog Cartoon Character
I recently created this cartoon character mascot for a client who is a roofer. He was looking for a fun logo for his roofing business, and I assume he’s also a dog lover as he asked for the character to be a dog carpenter.
Below is the final full logo I created:
Private Piles – Soldier Dog Cartoon Character
This cartoon character design of a military/soldier dog was created for a dog waste cleanup company, Private Piles. A full logo was also created in addition to the cartoon dog character.
