Advertising Illustration

Pin-up illustrations for use at Nascar to brand a specialty manufacturing firm. Development of the character "The Hype Girl", who is "sexy, but not trashy". Several versions were produced, including the above "Futuristic style with gears and sparks, but aged to look like a retro illustration". Aged paper feel was simulated as part of the actual illustration. The illustration was designed to be modular - there is a knocked out round illustration for other uses such as baseball caps and the back of poker shirts, the square old paper version, a 4x6" old paper version for postcards, and the long version above leaves space for the drop in of text boxes and logos for advertising venues or specials.
