This image was created using Flash, Photoshop and Swift 3d. I used Flash to create the initial vector graphic of the letters. Exported it as an AI file and imported it into Swift 3D. Used Swift 3D to extrude the individual letters into 3D, then adjusted there rotation, colored it up and adjusted the lighting. Exported that as a png with transparent background into Photoshop and polished it up. Video tutorial coming soon.

The Slime was designed in Flash in order to easily translate the vector graphics into animation or hi-res graphics for print. This character was created for an experimental mock website and some stickers for entertainments sake. “The Slime” was inspired by an evil character in the Frank Zappa song “I’m the slime”. The character was designed with a blob of oil in mind. Oil being symbolism for greed and the notion that absolute power corrupts.
