Ramshorn Ranch

This is a Project I completed for my cousin down in Twin Bridges, MT for her and her husbands small ranch. This project was equal parts hand drawing in Photoshop and refining, coloring and shading using Illustrator. The two animals in this illustration are Dusty, the miniature pony and Banjo, the mule - both were rescues. I suggested we add the dusty miller flowers and banjo to allude to their names as a nice center piece. And for the typography I tried to challenge myself by creating a playful western branding iron like feel - lettering has always been more challenging for me. Below are the images of the design process from start to completion:
