leggman01 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 kewp - the bottom portion of your logo (eyes down) is very nice, but the top is...well, it's not nearly as nice - there is way too much going on with the forhead...find a way to fill that area with something that looks natural and i think you've got a nice logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltravisjr Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 The back side (outside) of the ears - consider making it dark? And on the forhead, instead of that wide thin arc at the top - perhaps lose that and replace it with a dark upside down V-shape that that tapers as it runs from the bridge of the nose up. Cats heads actually have troughs running from between the eyes on up. This will reflect that. Right now it looks a bit more like a human forhead. You are making great progress so far, though.LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StPatty33 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 My only advice would be to look at the actual original logo more while you're trying to determine new lines.I've always been told since elementary school days that art is 90% observing and 10% drawing, and that's absolutely true. Don't try to make lines on the forehead based on what you think a cats forehead looks like, actually look at the forehead and figure your lines out from there. The below to be updated once the newest banner is raised! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the "V" you are getting closer, but its not quite there yet. The best thing I can point you to is the photo in the LEWJ's post below mine. See the dark line running up the middle of the forehead? That is what you need to show. I said to flare it at the bottom but perhaps it would look better flared a bit at the top (hinted at by the little triangle at the top of the head in LEWJ's sketch next to his photo). Just keep in mind its a trough, or a ditch, running up through there.LT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beansdooma Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 You really gotta move the pupils more to the center. It looks like hes looking straight up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Sorry I've been pretty busy lately and got sidetracked with school winding down now, but here's the latest update. Honestly I don't see how the Cougar looks like he's looking up, but if most of the people here think so then I can change it later. Anyway C&C please!

leggman01 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 i just don't get why you continue to put all those lines on the forehead...don't get me wrong, this is a beautiful concept from the eyes down, but it just doesn't work above the eyes...maybe you could make the head a bit more compact and lose some of the forehead so that you don't feel the need to fill that space...or maybe you could fill it with shapes that compliment the curves and act as shading...anything but the random lines you are filling it with now would probably work...

SG30 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 My idea is to make the eyes more angular. and ditch the lines above the outside of the eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 OK, this time I actually took some advice from my dad, and I think it actually came out pretty well. Sorry about the quick update, I just have nothing to do! What do you think? Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music!

leggman01 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 much better...this would really be good if you were to give one side more shadows than the other to reduce the symmetry and lose the line connecting the eyes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewp80 Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Not sure if I got the shading down, but tell me what you think of this. Step back or step forward? Cardinals -- Rams -- Blues -- Tigers -- Liverpool Check out my music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
