Some Greeting card illustrations and designs

[fanimation]

Here are some of my greeting card illustrations and designs. I'm in the process of learning Flash and Toon Boom Studio 4.5 so I can begin to animate some of the characters I create, and eventually produce some short animated films. You can also check out more of my art and designs at my carbonmade account (the link should appear at the end of this thread). Please let me know what you think! I'm recently getting back into drawing and painting, and I'm determined to get to a point were I can animate some short films that I can be proud of someday! I will try to post new things now and then, and I would be really interested in any reactions and critiques anyone might have.

All these cards were done in Photoshop and some Painter.

Thanks, John

John,

I love the hot dog on a leash at your site. Good stuff!

Besides animation, I have always wanted to get into greeting card illustration. I have thought about submitting some of these card designs to greeting card companies on a freelance basis. I was hopping to get some feedback from some other artists on the forum before I do. I am looking for any comments at all, positive of negative, so I can get better!:)

Here are a couple more and some business logos for my cards:
