! R B T R K !

So...

Last 2 days I've been working on this thing that costs me 10 hours approx. This vector drawing is based on my old (november or december 2012) drawing from the sketchbook which can be found HERE (4th one).

Basic requirement was to avoid black color and to keep the lines simple. Actually I really proud with result achieved and with clean feeling here.Color palette of this picture is also something new for me, because of fresh desaturated colors.

Denki Groove is written with japanese hieroglyphs here and yes, It's the name of electronic music band from Japan. 

You're Gone free font developed by Typodermic Fonts was used in my work.

RBTRK (robot rock) is just occasional title I decided to take and don't ask me about Daft Punk ok? :)

Actual picture (click to enlarge ):

Headrock Dub. Fast sketches.

VHS

Here is another piece work for my guys from Star TV.

TV broadcast logo. 

The idea was to get the feeling of 80's vhs/betacam picture style with it's glitches and interlacing.
It was made in vectors and then processed with raster software.
Final image processed with Adobe Photoshop, superheavily processed :

Outline preview and superclean Illustrator mode:

Since this is kinda work for food, all rights belongs to Star TV

Octopus.minimal

Just another minimalistic exercise I made few weeks ago.
I tried to draw an octopus as a symbol, but Natalka said it looks like a bearded man :)

GUN (Warpunk 2013)

This one is based on my old sketch from 2011 sketchbook and was drawn pretty fast (4 hours approx). The guy and his gun were made in Flash, but Adobe Illustrator was used for camo background and chaotic linear madness. I'm going to use this way of drawing vectors in my further works, because CS 5 rocks for this purposes and flexible *fxg file format  works in really amazing way ( thumbs up for this good feature in Flash CS5 ).
It looks very untidy when it comes to details, but super precision outlines quality is actually not a goal I wanted to achieve here.

Attention! The background magazine is not exists in real life!
I just like to play around with  pop magazine cover design :)

UA Top 10

Ілюстрація для музичного хіт параду на телеканалі Star TV.
Тема : хімічно-музична лабораторія, тому поруч зі звичними пробірками, колбами та мензурками тут розташовані синтезатори ( навіть є спеціальний гібрид синтезатора з осцилографом ), драм машини, колонки та плеєри.
Арт дирекція:  Олександр Ткаленко 

Цікавий факт - спочатку це був UA Top 30, котрий згодом перетворився на Топ 10. 

Ось ескізи логотипу:

Жовта плашка UA Top 10 та ілюстрація є власністю Star TV

Hey! Wait a minute

Vintage comics palette and dirty texture made this work finished so it's not another overpainted sketch.
Actually 2 robots are trying to get into the groove here :)

Blah Blah Room

Background for Star TV show called "Blah Blah Room"
A pure vector madness. Looks like a trash salad. But it always works for music channels :)))

MILK

I'm seriously believe that Flash is pretty nice vector software.
This monster was drawn in Flash CS4 yesterday. That's why the colors are so bright , 
simple and so default here ( I was too lazy to prepare swatches for this work).
Words on nimbus are taken from Big Tony's "Bubble Up''.

Sketch? Ah, It was a crappy one:

Robotic

Minimal 2

Inspired by Kuler. I don't know which one is better. There where too much versions...
My eyes! :)))) Just tired to play with colors. Enough.
Good night.

Lamb. Monkey. Skull. Sports wear.

Just minimalistic vector.

But who is it - lamb or monkey?

Sketch

One of my strangest sketches.
It was drawn when I was waiting for Tricky's autograph after his performance in November 2012.
Gel ink pen.

Pixel Starboy

I was trying to create a pixel art stylised image in Illustrator yesterday. Actually it's made of squares 10x10 pixels each and can be as huge as vector gfx can be. It's so funny!!!

Jungle Juice

A fresh one made in Illustrator CS4.
Probably this is my first work without highly saturated acid colors. The huge electronic voodoo ape is holding the skull filled up with some kind of potion (or poison?). Main inspiration came with the taste of famous alcohol cocktail and electronic music.
I think this work visually represents Leftfield's "Snakeblood", The Prodigy's "Voodoo People" and "Bananas To The Beat" by Yello.
Bubble up!

Original picture I really proud with.

Close up.
I had a lot of fun when I drew the octopus medallion and cute micro synthesizer.
Bubbles are copypasted from Octopus DJ btw :)Repaint rocks!

Character and background are shocking with their outlines. Real mess.

I spent more than 2 hours to prepare color swatches for this work
and my primary idea was to avoid 100% black and default RGB colors.

Cupid

I'm not good at drawing cute characters,
but 3 days ago I was commissioned to draw a few cupids for Star TV live music channel
This is my favourite one.

Moleskine doodles

Різноманітна маячня з чорного блокнота.
Роботи, мавпи, медузи, офісний планктон, суїцидальні сюжети, алкоголь, кислота, трохи фентезі, грифон, робо-хробак та інші потвори.

Turbo Monster

This is my last work of 2012.
One eyed robot with asymmetric face design is dressed in casual sports wear. Supercute ushanka stylised monster is a good friend of him and one of the best examples of successful symbiotic partnership.
Radically Digital
Friendly Acid
100% Synthetic

Original picture

Some close up details. Circular logo says PLASTICA



This is how it looks in outline preview mode. Interesting enough.

Sketches scans. Monster gang and tweaks of ushanka monster idea. Ballpoint pen on paper.

Starboy

Character for ukrainian music channel Star TV
Персонаж для українського музичного каналу Star TV

Насправді персонажів декілька, кожний з котрих наділений власним характером - веселун, розумник, агресивний, суворий, крутий, хуліган, тощо.Усі об'єднані однією стилістикою - величезна голова, малесенький тулуб (інколи навіть немає рук), неслухняна зачіска, товста обводка з градієнтом та "вирізаний" контур.

Розробка логотипа. Головною умовою була присутність зірки, котра асоціюється з логотипом каналу. Варіанти.

                               
Логотип. Фінальна версія. Товста обводка з волоссям робить його візуально пов'язаним з виглядом персонажів.

Троє найбільш вдалих ,на мою думку, персонажів:

Бла-бла-бла

Крутий

Розумник

Ескізи - це те з чого все починалося.

Логотип "Starboy", персонаж та фоновий візерунок є власністю Star TV, бла-бла-бла :)

Jungle Juice sketches

Just started to work on "Jungle Juice".
Robo ape, skull, juice, voodoo.
