SciFi and Fantasy Art Wild Boar Company emblem by Charles-Emmanuel Ouellette

Here the Wild Boar Company emblem, inspired by Celtic imagery. I made this illustration with graphite and brushpen (which I use all the time), as well as some help from my computer. I first sketched the whole emblem, scanned it and redrawn it on Freehand (which, to me, is quicker than a ruler to come up with straight lines and well balanced proportions). I then printed the Freehand with very pale lines, retraced them with my brushpen to broke the perfectly straight lines (which don’t make really medieval to me) and added the whole ornamentation with a plain HB pen. I used this technique on some professional job, as in Vircom’s the 4th prophecy online game (which sadly have been plugged of by now) and for Dream Pod 9’s Tribe 8 rpg line, on which I first developed this method. The Wild Boar Company emblem is the first time I use this technique for a personal drawing.

3 Mar 2003		Loading... Cool...the eyes are creepy, and it does have a celtic tone to it... holy crackers, i just love it ^_^ Charles-Emmanuel Ouellette replies: "Glad you like. The eyes are indeed creepy; they basically come from a clip art catalog of Celtic design where there was a neatly stylized Wild boar. I basically kept the same basic drawing for the face, yet I reconfigured the rest of the body to fit the two symmetrical wild boars and round shapes. The ornamentation completed to personalize the piece, and voila!"
9 Jun 2003	Susan Mewhiney	Loading... Holy POOP that's awesome! All your stuff rocks, but there's something about emblems and logos that just catch my eye first. This is REALLY cool! bows to your infinite skill for detail Charles-Emmanuel Ouellette replies: "Glad you like! I have a formation in graphic design, so logo is kind of a natural for me. Norice that the basic form of the logo is quite simple, as I designed it first, and then all the details where added. I couldn't have strated doing the details at first, it'll had confuse me and distracted from the overall form. Thanks for your comment."

26 Oct 2003	Airé	Loading... This is great! The techniques you've used work really well to achieve that medieval-style look. I'm very interested in callighraphy and illumination, and when I saw this I was like 'holy cr*p! this is the kind of thing I want to be able to draw on my texts'. It's very elegant and extremely well made. Kudos!
16 Jan 2004	Rodewald	Loading... Great picture! Who could have thought to create a beautiful boar? I really like the ornaments and the overall playfulness
11 Nov 2004	An 'Ysyra' Nuttin	Loading... Wow!! Looks awesome!!! Nice!!^^ keep it up!
29 Jun 2007	Invicta	Loading... This is certainly not a 'boaring' picture. That is officially one of the worst jokes in the world.
25 Feb 2008	Shrek	Loading... Absolutely magnificent. Your knowledge of Celtic symbolism, combined with your great talent of drawing, has made this emblem fantastic looking. To be honest, I like this version better than te colored one.
10 Jul 2011	Facundo	Loading... Blood and sacrifice, Mr. Ouellette. We Fallen still remember you. Great pic.
