Here is a little Stag design I have been working on. In the original sketch I was quite happy with how the antlers looked and I tend to like drawing long, branching patterns so I wanted to see what I could do with it in Illustrator.
It took me a while to digitally redesign the antlers; I wanted to keep the outlines of the branching shapes but I felt like it didn’t match the rest of the design. I kept the original outline so you could see them in a little more detail.
I kept it pretty basic with the colours, focusing instead on making it look intense and surreal through the pattern and shapes. Part of me wanted to go all out with the colours but I didn’t want to distract away from the overall look.
Hope you guys like it anyway and hope you all have a happy new year! 🎉
