Heroes Force™ is the first Canadian action figure. I was approached to create the artwork for the Action Figure, the Logo, all of the Packaging materials and Promo Items.
- The molds for the figure required me to create a front, side and back view of each of the (6) figures manufactured to date.
- Each figure's schematic consists of over 800 pieces
- All of the artwork was created in Coreldraw
Project Specifics
- PMS Colours used.
- Object Containers used to house the clothing.
- Symbols were used to create the Military camouflage, to keep file size down and speed refresh rate.
- I created Custom Recorded Macros for shadows and highlights, triggered with a custom shortcut key. For example, after drawing out a black object in the rough shape of desired shadow I would simply use a shortcut key triggering a macro to 1) convert shape to a bitmap 2) apply a gausssian blur 3) apply transparency 4) pick a specific blending mode.
- All Illustration were done with Bézier tool.
- Mesh fill tool was used for skin tone gradients in the 2nd version of the figure (not pictured).
- Horizontal & Vertical Dimension Tool used to provide exact specs to manufacturer for production.
Heroes Force™ action figures are currently available across Canada and online via our website.
