Season key art, program graphics, and a Nutcracker-themed holiday merch series
Merch
A holiday illustration series — five wordmark lockups drafted in Procreate, then rebuilt in Illustrator. Each row is one concept's full progression: pencil sketch, color draft, final vector.
Concept 1 — the Mouse King's kick line: sketch, color, and final vector
Concept 2 — soldier & ornament lockup: sketch, color, and final
Concept 3 — mouse & soldier lockup: sketch, color, and a final that upgrades the mouse to the multi-headed Mouse King
Concept 4 — a Mother Ginger–style figure: sketch, color, and final vector
Concept 5 — Mouse King, ballerina & soldier trio: sketch, color, and a final that pairs the Mouse King with the ballerina alone
