Hurray Mathias is back;
he left with a great animation.
Though these angular objects.. I'd have to agree, are not his strong point.
Yet all the better reason to tackle them down now. The toons on the other-hand... dayum!
This thread is getting too good (daunting almost; how bad-ass it gets).
Been working on lots of things lately.. some to be shown soon (likely).
Recently, I made an R&B logo sample for a potential client; I should be working on that now, but I'm not getting any good ideas. Hopefully the person who requested it is as laid back as I am about it (1st design/ rough prototype):

Just getting a basic shape down with incomplete elements... kind of a mock-up.
I dislike them; but they're based on what was asked for. At this point, with this initial visual, I hope we can move on and trigger more ideas.
The client wants it more realistic yet logo-like at the same time.
