Flat Grim Reaper - Stellar - Feb 21, 2017

Got bored and decide to mess around in Illustrator.

What do you guys think? I love making these flat/simplistic designs.

*Before you go SJW mode I mocked this design and did a couple custom edits to it.

The curves I feel could've been a lot smoother. Also the colors look almost faded? Not sure if that was intentional. I really like the idea/design a lot. Looks really neat and definitely could be sold as a sticker or icon/mascot. I feel the scythe could've been longer as well it looks a little stubby.

For me, it's just something about the positioning of the hands.

I'd place the right hand lower down the scythe so we can see visibly that he's holding it. I just think it looks off, might just be out of personal specification.

Looks great to me. Reminds me of cartoon grim reapers I would see growing up.

Looks great, but I've always wondered, how do you guys make these cartoonish characters? Like omni's avi is pretty cartoonish, it looks like the same style.

Hmm yeah I see what you mean. It could look alittle better.

Its quite simple actually. I like cartoonish designs a lot and its mostly just the outline and choosing the right colors to blend well.

"Ripped" Nice meme. I edited the thread and added that I mocked the design and you still do that.

* - Jaav - Feb 22, 2017
