America Computer Hero
Hello to all art lovers, And to all of you who love to walk into a computer store with no intention of buying just to see XD.
As I mentioned in my previous publication in the search for a new pc, we ended up accepting the permanent work proposal, for an interesting project to improve the advertising of a franchise of computer equipment and accessories stores, (as we were going to have a very comfortable schedule which allowed us to continue with our personal projects and I could continue with my drawing classes at Avivarte) I remember that day he was crazy because of all that, I showed him the illustrations I had done, the owner was very excited about the quality of my works, He said that he wanted to create a team of superheroes to use them as advertising mascots and something very important that he would be the main character had to look very similar to Captain America, because for them that Marvel character is very important to them because he is a superhero that use store colors to match they even have a life size cardboard Captain America figure at the entrance to the store Ocal thing that was funny, I showed them on YouTube one or another video game trailer to know what graphic style I wanted, when we got to my house (that's when we saw the huge disappointment of the pc that they sold me) I started working on the pencil sketches of the 6 characters I went with my friend to the store to show them, and to see if he had gotten me The solid state hard disk, to put my pc already operational, I had bought it without the hard disk to reuse the previous one but it had to be formatted to install Windows 10, my previous operating system was Windows 7. I showed all the employees the sketches They fascinated him, they said they looked very cool to use in a video game, but the owner did not like my sketches, because they looked very mature and rude for a child audience, I told him that the children who use pc resources the most are pre-adolescents and they look for this style more for something they play many battle royales, and first-person games like Overwatch or Valorant (source of inspiration for the designs) even so, he told me that he wanted a more friendly design for the public (something more than understandable and logical) and also wanted the characters to be based on their family and showed me the photos of them (a suggestion that must have been of vital importance at the beginning ) and that if I could have the digital design ready by Friday (in a day and a half) to show it to the CEO and owner of the entire franchise, I told him that if he could and had the computer already working, he told me not yet I had the hard disk that I requested, he would lend me one of less temporary capacity, so that I could work, I said OK, and that's how the chaos started ...
From then on it was a disaster, both my friend and I fell all of Murphy's law, we arrived at night, and we were able to install from the borrowed hard drive which already had Windows 10, but surprise it was in another language that I do not speak , and worst of all, my programs were on the other hard drive which was being formatted, so I was going to use portable programs, but they could not start on this pc and we never knew why, I spent the whole morning doing a sketch of the character (The worst design I made in my life) and coloring in a traditional way, but that night we suffered an infestation of mosquitoes in my house and due to the lighting of the lamp on my drawing table, and the entire sheet that was draw, the meeting was for noon, but this was postponed to 4 pm Leoncio came with a newer version of the portable illustrator to use it and surprise this did not work either, seeing this I said let's go to your house to use your brother's pc designer, couldn't use Leo's because she also had to finish her presentation, which was a Samsung smartphone made in CGI and which was also giving her problems, after walking for an hour, we arrived and she had less than 3 hours to finish, ( My average doing a full body illustration is 8-12 hours depending on the amount of details) his brother's pc, as it has very, very low resources, can only use the portable versions of the Adobe CS6 programs, which eliminates some tools that I usually use to draw faster, in 2 and a half hours. From a lot of stress I finally finished the worst drawing I made in my life, Leoncio if he could finish his work on time, but it did not turn out as he wanted it to be for the short time, we went to the meeting an hour late, The CEO too I'm late, that's why they had to start the emergency meeting to work without us, which was for the better, because we both had an aberration to show them, so we had the whole weekend to correct our proposals.
The design I made in 2 and a half hours, all in a hurry
As you can see, I had to skip many things and sacrifice all the quality that I usually apply in my works.
Sketch done in pencil
Detecting errors
As I had time I was able to correct the errors in my sketch: the head that is very high, giving it a giraffe's neck, the thumb that is crooked, and the whole arm is very long, the knees are very high, the shield has bad edges.

All drawing progress
When I showed him this version of my proposal, he loved it and was amazed, I also showed him the version I did on Friday, saying: when you hurry me, when you don't hurry me. He told me that the shape of the shield did not seem to him that because of the logo it looked very overloaded, I told him that because of the shape of the logo that was how it worked, there he told me that they had changed the logo, but in the stores they still used the The old logo, the new one was simpler and more round, to make it a new round shield, I suggested a shield in another way because it would be very similar to Captain America, so I made 2 shields.
