Project Description

For the left side of the cabinet I decided to showcase some of the more concrete alteregos of PMD: PMD Luke/Jedi, Gorilla Monkey Dynamo, PMD with the Squid Canon (a video game idea just waiting for me to have the time and the skills), and The Masked Plunger (who has shown up in Inktober illustrations as well as an xmas card envelope several years ago). I expect there will one day be quite a few more to add, but these were the ones I’ve developed the most.

The PMD Luke came from a random Inktober illustration I did that I turned into a shirt. I’m not sure if he’ll ever show up in the PMD Universe otherwise.
Gorilla Monkey Dynamo came about just about as randomly as PMD did originally, and I like the possiblities this alterego has.
I’ve gone through different iterations of logos related to PMD over the years, but I really like how clean and simple this one is. I could see it showing up on shirts or hats or something down the road.

Squid Canon. If there’s ever a Plunger Monkey video game, there will be a Squid Canon.

I still need to work on it a lot, but I like some of the lighting effects I managed in this area.

Another example of tedious detail that I like but may not be noticed at the finished viewable size: All the fur textures and light reflections.

This one gave me headaches. I’m not great with lighting still, especially with PMD’s face. It’s made of relatively simple shapes, but with some weird intersections and changes of form that are just difficult for me to visualize being hit by light from different angles without having something physical (or at least a 3D render) to reference.
