When you do the Kangaroo, make sure it's big and muscular, and is wearing Royal Blue boxing gloves, as well as a fearsome look on it's face. Kind of like this:

Yeah it takes awhile. I did the bombers and hawks ones today in between doing stuff at work.
Anyways, as requested... HAWKS.

[Southside]

[Octavia]

Unfreakingbeliebale.
I love them all Mowse. Great work and keep it up

Do you sketch them then transfer to PC and add colour??
What way too you go about making these???

Thanks again and thanks for sharing!

 

[Johnson#26]

Wow they are awesome good stuff.

The current ones the AFL changed to in 2003/2004 are WOEFUL. All about being happy and best buddies. What a toss.

 

[Smeagle]

You are certainly a fantastic illustrator, Mowse.
I'm sure you would have had a lot of fun doodling in boring high-school periods, i dare say

Interested to see how you interpret the intangible mascots of the Suns, Blues and Power; and indeed the more "human" Giants, Dockers and Saints.

Can see this one competing well in the Thread of the Year poll...

Hi all. Thanks for the positive responses, glad you're all enjoying the ride.

As for how I make these – First I just need to get a solid idea in my head of how I want it to look. Then I just draw them straight into Illustrator, freehand with the mouse/pencil tool (tablets are for the weak). I then create a new layer underneath for the colouring. Its pretty simple really and takes about 1-2 hours depending on the character/detail.

I'm going to do Collingwood next, as they are the premiers after all. and I have some some good ideas for Saints,Lions,Dogs,Crows. Melbourne will be lots of fun.

The ones I'm struggling with are Carlton, Cats and the Swans. Making a swan or a 'Blue' look tough will be hard, so feel free to offer any suggestions.

The Hawks one is sensational. Any chance of you posting a link to a bigger version I can use as a wallpaper?

So it seems that will go around once again

So it seems that will go around once again

I can't wait to see the Demons one, that'll be fully sick!!!!!
Don't change a thing about your designs but if you want the AFL to use them just tone the blood stuff down and bingo. LOVE the Bombers one. How are you gonna make the Saints aggressive??????
You're a LEGEND Mowse.

You could go with the Captain Carlton theme but make him more of a "dark" hero like Batman, then add the extra darkness that seems to be a theme in all of your drawings.

I'm imagining an angelic-type figure with his hands clasped together in prayer, halo above his head, serene facial expression looking towards the heavens, standing upon the carcass of a dead magpie.

[Ess_don]

Wow, loving all these mascots so far! Freakin amazing..
Maybe put them all in one big group pic when your done please?

Not rushing you or anything tho, keep up the good work, will def keep coming back to this thread for sure!

 

[Walesy]

Epic thread Mowse. On the Blue, perhaps harking back to the day of the muscular blue rumbler that they had going on?

 

[Call Me Cake]

Making a 'Blue' look tough will be hard

Eyyyy, we're all with you on that one!

Great work Mowse! Your artistic ability is superb.

 

[Mowse]

Swooping down on territorial invaders is SO nineteen ninety.
The Pies upgraded this season, and that icecream tub on your head ain't gunna help any more.
The team with the golden gun. MAGPIES.

You're a LEGEND Mowse.

That kind of talk can earn you a card 'round here. You've been warned.

 

[Lucev23]

These are ****ING AWESOME!!

Can't wait to see the eagles one, could you make it a wedge tailed eagle as opposed to an american bald one?

 

[ghostdog]

Yeah it takes awhile. I did the bombers and hawks ones today in between doing stuff at work.
Anyways, as requested... HAWKS.

Favourite so far, unfortunately. Which Hawks player goes after the ball as crazily as this?

They're very good, Mowse

 

[Redleg_24]

Can you knock up a Demon? Love ya work. 3 birds in a row..mix it up hehe

 

[Alberton_Magpie]

Can you knock up a Demon? Love ya work. 3 birds in a row..mix it up hehe

You count the bomber as a bird?

 

[Canary]

unbelievable. These are incredible!

GC will be interesting... Swans can be quite savage when they are angry

something like this perhaps?
