Spring is around the corner. Well, at least when prepping for the baseball season it is. Spring training starts before ya know it. To get the baseball rolling, an old client had contacted Mudge Studios to do a custom pennant illustration for the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals wanted two players featured on this pennant. The players to be depicted would be their catcher Yadier Molina and one of their pitchers Adam Wainwright. It had been a while since I've worked on assignment for this client so they requested sketches...
The Cards picked A. The project was going to be screened, so I had to work in spot channels. I refined the rough and then set up a Photoshop document with the team PMS Colors.
Top left represents the base flesh color, Top Middle- a darker flesh for modeling, Top Right is Cardinals Red and Bottom left is Cards Blue. Put 'em together and you get the result at the Bottom Right. Now it just need the black line art and a little tone and you get...
Mudge Studios' part is done. Now the project gets emailed to the client who has a great graphics dept. that will design the remaining elements such as player names, additional text and logos. Hope the pennant prints well. It was a pleasure working with this client again. I actually miss those days :)
