This is Ollie Gator, doing tricks at the skatepark by the beach where all his friends hang out. This was done for a character design challenge, but I’d been dying to draw some fun action shots of skaters. As you can see I did a bunch of early sketches of other animals before landing on Ollie here, but scroll down to see some of the other skating animals.
Rough sketch.
Detail from ollie's shirt.
Matt the puma.
