STAMPS 1-2-3-4 Best so far



OWN COMMENT> So these are best so far. MugMan/Woman actually, PlaneMan I have drawn today morning, and chosen them over another lot. The BulbMan looks kind of pale and the other two are appearing stronger. At least this is what I can see now. I also tried bringing in hallo to the BulbMan but so far I decided to paint it rather than draw. Still to be done.

UPDATE 25/11/08> I took out the MugWoman off the set. I guess now they look much better together, and that is a good thing. I think that now the BulbMan looks more interesting as well. It is all about contrast, and overview.

UPDATE 25/11/08 evening> I have put the other illustrations in the OneUnitTransportGuy, and I am torn between the two. Can't decide which works better. Need to sleep with it. So I am leaving them for now on.

I loove all of them! I really like your idea for this project and I think It will be spectacular when its finished. Are you going to write something on the stamp like their name??
I also think the square format will be perfect for these.
Can't wait to see the final result!! :)
good luck with the rest of the stamps!

Hey! Thanks for support!!! Aurora, I hope they will appear good with the typography. I will write about their inventions, so that may need a bit of space. I am hoping to fit it all in! And Gavin, you are absolutely right with the woman's resemblance, although not intended it makes the project p. correct ;). I kind of feel she may still need a bit of work, but for now I will concentrate on some more others. And looked at mighty boosh, that's the craziest group ever, I haven't look at the episodes yet but will do soon. Thanks!
