Gung Ho Illustration

Thomas von Kummant Illustration Graphic Tuesday, 24 December 2024

Gung Ho

Gung Ho is a cover illustration created for the French deluxe edition of the comic series Gung Ho. The artwork avoids the drawn black outline used in most comics and applies a cut-out collage approach that keeps the image clear. Silhouettes are treated with colour to create an expressionistic impression that supports the tone of the story.

The digital artwork was made with a graphics tablet.

Renew Replaceable Refill Marker

Yunsong Liu Replaceable Refill Marker Art Supplies Friday, 20 December 2024

Renew

Renew is a marker designed for quick replacement of the ink core. The pen holder is unscrewed with a twisting motion, so the tip separates from the core and a new core can be inserted without spilled ink. The twist mechanism keeps the holder in place when the cap is removed. Grooves around the fiber tip let the tip bend, which keeps full contact with the paper surface. The cap shape indicates the tip thickness, and matching cap and holder colors show the tilt direction of the tip. The body is made of plastic with a rubber section.
