Sand dollars are the flat, burrowing relatives to the sea urchin. Mine are, a little different.

Hey guys, guess what? I made another!
:D

Somehow, typography and logo design is even harder to work on than character designs. Nevertheless, I really feel like this is the best the "Ave Marina" title can look.

Six revisions and it is finally over...

I have been told by some that the title can read as “AVF MARINA” and that I should change it more, but every attempt to adjust the “E” takes away from the already double upped “V” and makes the whole product look awkward in the end.

Sooo, SORRY to those 2 people🤷

I’ve returned to the title for one of my projects, “Ave Marina” with the intention of making it easier to read.

The “V” is now more recognizable as a letter and the whole logo has been straightened out.

I think it’s good now… No more changes needed.

Inco is a squid, he's also a very close friend to Toko. Preferring to follow his own direction than adhere to the traditional teachings for cephalopod camouflage and defense gave him the track record of being quite the rebel at a young age...

Mind was buzzing late last night, so I sketched some concepts for a Sand Dollar anthro.

GOD, I freaking love marine life.

An anthropomorphic, humanoid squid with a white body and dark blue ink staining his tentacles and arms. He’s spraying 2 jets of ink at once through his tentacles.

Inco is a squid, he shoots ink from the sides of his mouth to cover more area than just one. It also makes him look badass.

The hands aren’t there yet, I spent all day working on the patterns and ink sprays. Sorry.

Dude, color picking a shade of white that doesn’t overpower everything SUCKS.

I am so ready for this.

Ay, this doesn't look bad.
The wonders of editing something, even a little bit!

"Ave Marina," everybody!

One of my previous drafts for the “Ave Marina” title. I enjoy the wavy design, but in practice, the large lettering makes it feel less “elegant” than I had hoped

I could always edit the final design to retain that element, so no skin off my back.

I wanted to try my hand at logo design once more, something a lot more clean, so I made a proper title logo to one of my story projects, "Ave Marina."

Unsure if this'll be the FINAL design, but its one I'll be keeping for the while.

Logo design practice. Figuring out which direction to go for is hard, though...

Toko, a purple octopus with both lighter and darker purple accents and bright yellow piercing eyes.

This is a collection of illustrations of him as drawing reference. Some detail what Toko looks like without the tentacle wrapping, while others detail his ink mechanism and hiding techniques. There’s also a look at what the undersides of his feet look like.

(Purely for drawing reference, yeah yeah. Certainly)

Toko, an octopod representative of the (recently unified) Cephal Clan.

Toko hails from a civilization where stealth and smarts are one in the same.

In fact, the clan is so good at keeping themselves hidden, it’s impossible to tell where the borders of their territory lie.

I’m slowly piecing together the final few illustrations to Toko’s reference page. All I need is like, 2 left and it’ll be all done.

Toko and other related species, use their tentacles to cover their faces, showing only their eyes.

They shoot ink from a sac located inside their mouths and that ink gradually stains their faces including the areas which their tentacles that is used as covering.

Toko, a purple octopus wearing only a fundoshi. A couple of tentacles are wrapped around his face, imitating a scarf as they flap in the water. He is performing some kind of pose or is in mid-action between a leap. 

Is it even called a “leap” if he’s underwater?

The “Cephalop Clan” is one of secrecy and silence. Consisting of species that posses the ability of natural camouflage, they wear as little as possible to not hinder these skills.

Toko, an octopus, is a member of this clan; He’s hardly ever seen in full, so take in what you can!

(WIP) ⚠️

Working piece by piece on a Toko design refinement.

The “Ave Marina” cast are somewhat difficult characters to draw as they have some of the most “human” proportioned designs on my roster.
