:format(webp)/99designs-contests-attachments/159/159362/attachment_159362518 "The assignment was to design a soda-themed 90s-style mascot.
I chose a dynamic pose that was popular during the rise of a new generation of animated videos at the time. This is a quick sketch version, which I plan to follow up with a colored rendition. That version will keep some bold outlines while featuring soft shaded details. The advantage of this style is its versatility—it can easily be adapted into a single-color outline version.
I went with a Walkman because I felt it made a stronger detail than a boombox, which might compete in size with the cup itself. The orange slice cleverly doubles as a lock of hair. The sunglasses and sneakers are essential '90s brand mascots- unavoidable elements of what art directors then considered “cool.”")

"Talented, professional, and creative. I felt like I could rely on Bo Mak Art even though this was our first project together. Another characteristic I look for is good but fast and he is. Will collaborate again in the future if he's available."
