product designin'

A while back, i was asked to partake in a project to design and develop some funky new kettles. They were intended for mass production, but due to the shitty economy at the time (and to an extent, even now) the factory/production side were not ready to take a chance on something so 'different' and I was given a few existing samples to 'take inspiration from' (read: copy but change slightly). Being one who takes great pride in designing in his own image, of course, i refused. So everything came to a grinding halt, and the project has become stagnant, so now i can show you some of the sketches i came up with.

woah...s'been over a month since my last post.
And i can't say i've been particularly busy or anything. Just been in an artist's rut lately where i aim to do lots, but run out of momentum when i put pen to paper.
Been sitting on a few semi-finished character sketches, so thought i'd gather em together and make a post out of it. Maybe it'll inspire me to do more.
