December 7 - Blast Reindeer

Santa knows Physics: Of all colors, Red Light penetrates fog best. That's why Benny the Blue-nosed reindeer never got the gig.

~ Neil deGrasse Tyson

This reindeer is the other Christmas design on the Sam Cremeens download Link Faces (link).

This is another fantastic concept video, I can easily see how I would adapt this face structure to a number of things.  You are left to create the body yourself, this time I used John Justice's Adventure pups for that.

I really need to spend a little more time practicing my artwork.  Sam shows clearly how he draws his face, but something about drawing on a created balloon makes my hand shake or hold the pen at an awkward angle.  On the black-nosed reindeer, this created some very thick lines as I kept trying to straighten out the wobble (hence the lack of pictures of the two of them together).  So much of this is the confidence of knowing what you're doing, a slow line is a shaky line.

"You look more like snow deer..." .... "You realize this is why we won't let you play our games ... "
