Daphne from the Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated TV series. Did these early on to get a lock on the way the characters were drawn for the series at the time. I did single shots of all the Gang. All penciled rough on cheap paper. Then scanned, saved as an .eps file in Photoshop, then opened in Illustrator and inked with the pen tool using the scan as a guide (I normally turn the opacity down to 50% for my guides as I worked over stuff). When done and I'm happy with it, I saved the file as an .ai or .eps (I can't remember exactly) and opened back up in Photoshop and colored. Background plate is a full plate behind her. Multi-platformed art for all art I did for this series licensing. This was pre-Manga Studio at the time so Adobe was the only game in town.
Unused cover art for Scholastic book I did. I still like it though! It would have had issues working as a cover though in terms of logo placement. It's a pen and ink rough on cheap paper. If they wanted the final art for it I would have scanned and inked it in Adobe Illustrator at the time so that it matched the line art for the style guide. It would have then been opened in Photoshop and colored just like the one above. I still have this sketch and... yes, my stuff is super clean and tight.
