Tipologia // Character Design - Illustrazione CD
Committente // Sheopard
Gli Sheopard sono un gruppo musicale di genere Folk Swing, tra i finalisti per l'Arezzo Wave.
Cercavano una sorta di mascotte che tenesse fede al nome ed al loro stile di musica, che avesse in sé eleganza ed al contempo quel tocco da viveur.
Nacque così lo Sheopardo, evolutosi poi nel tempo acquisendo ulteriori elementi contraddistintivi.

Typology // Character Design - Cover CD Illustration
Buyer // Sheopard
The Sheopard is a band genre Folk Swing, known either as a finalist for the Arezzo Wave.
They were looking for a kind of mascot that would mantein faith to their name and style of music, which has at the same time elegance and a touch of viveur.
Thus he was born the Sheopardo, then evolved over time by acquiring additional characterizing elements.
Prima bozza cover cd // Primary Sketch Cover CD
Il primo sketch fece subito centro, catturando l'immagine che gli Sheopard desideravano.
Non solo, apprezzarono così tanto lo stile e l'idea dello Sheopardo da desiderarlo come cover per il cd stesso.
_________________________________________________________________________
The first sketch was a bullseye, capturing the character that Sheopards wanted.
Not only that, they appreciated so much the style and the idea of the Sheopardo to desire it as a cover for the CD itself.
Bounder (Primo debutto) - Fronte Retro // Bounder (First debut) - Front Back
Bounder fu il loro CD di debutto.
Contenente solo alcune tracce del loro repertorio serviva principalmente come fase beta di presentazione, da qui la scelta di utilizzare sia per il fronte che per il retro un disegno completamente a matita, quasi come se fosse abbozzato, per restare nel clima del CD.
_________________________________________________________________________
Bounder was their debut CD.
Containing only few traces of their repertoire, Bounder served mainly as a presentation beta stage, hence the choice to use for both the front and the back an entirely pencil drawing, almost like it was drafted, to remain in the CD climate.
White Label - Nuovo Singolo // White Label - New Single
In seguito lavorai al nuovo singolo degli Sheopard "White Label" dell'album "Stream of Anice".
Restando sul tema della sambuca, ho creato tre proposte che giocassero sul liquido corposo.
_________________________________________________________________________
Following I've worked at the new single of the Sheopard "White Label" from the album "Stream of Anise".
Staying on the theme of sambuca, I've created three proposals that were playing around the dense liquid.
The first proposal was a simple image of the Sheopard while drinking the Sambuca, with is characteristic suit merged with the background.
Second proposal was more sensual, a super detail of the feral Sheopard's tongue that lick the dense transparent liquid on a table.
Third proposal was about an emerging Sheopard directly from a bottle of spilled Sambuca.
Definitivo // Definitive
La proposta scelta fu la prima, molto più in linea con la prima illustrazione.
Così ho definito il disegno, aggiungendo come elemento caratteristico le note musicali al posto delle macchie maculate dello Sheopard.
_________________________________________________________________________
The chosen one was the first proposal, much more in line with the past illustration.
So I've defined the draw, adding as a characteristic traits the musical notes instead of the Sheopard's spotted stains.
