Jo Stradder

A new piece following this creative exercise: I randomize 3 concepts from a previously prepared list and try to create a character based on them. For this, I use a simple spreadsheet with 3 lists (2 repeated + 1 additional one with complementary concepts), although there are many similar tools online.

Here we have Jo Stradder, the result of combining the following concepts: Punk, Boxer and Snake.

Let’s build her story: Joan (Jo) Stradder. Her chaotic and disorganized personal life, surrounded by questionable music and bad company, contrasts with her steadfast dedication to boxing since she was a child.

We will ignore the fact that she has been disqualified in various competitions for refusing to comply with the dress and equipment code. Her jabs are as fast and dangerous as a viper's bite 🥊🐍

(Above) Some rough sketches, the final pencils and a couple of detailed views.

You can get Jo's illustration as a fine art print, an acrylic print, a metal print or a Canvas print on InPrnt (8x8, 12x12 or 16x16 inches) __✍️

From time to time, I will share some of the results of these experiments!
