Here are two I’ve done– one for Boomerang and one for Cartoon Network.

All artwork (except for branded intros and outros and show clips) is by myself and was created using only Photoshop and After Effects.

I took some time to draw locals (and probably lots of tourists, who knows) in the cafe in the main square. There were many Aperol Spritzers, as proof I drew one of these as well. There was no English spoken, at least at my table!

The concept was “Halloween Bloodsucker”– a creature that uses a Halloween disguise to lure in its tasty young prey. I opted for a tick-like design that has evolved markings similar to a jack-o-lantern….
