Got tasked to do an OX illustration for next years' Chinese New Year advert campaign... Did some snapshots with my cp between stretchings/breaks.

Pencil sketch --> finalized in Adobe Illustrator --> animated in Photoshop --> GIF (download the GIF to see animation) & some FA's (final artwork)

...Just another day at work....

Those are great Wallen, Do you always have to work in your coat with the hood up? How do you manage with gloves on...

Thanks!

Glove on mouse is ok. No gloves on left hand for keyboard.
Hoods up depending on what i'm wearing and how cold it is, sometimes i wear a balaclava.

This is a temporary set-up for us due to covid.
On the other hand, this place is a furnace when they shut down the AC.


Here is another picture i took some time ago.
The guy in blue is a cleaner so he only stays a few minutes and is not affected by the cold.
The other person behind me is a polar bear LOL.
The one behind the furthest monitor is also wearing a hood.
The baby Thor is also one of my previous project.

Sorry I have no clue on the temperature.
I'm in the middle east so its really hot here, hence the need for a very powerful AC.
The work requires sitting on the computer for a long time so i get cold hands & feet after a while. Some of my co-workers are not affected as much, getting by with just a hood/shawl or a fleece jacket.

This used to be a big hall where the centralized AC cold vents are all in one side.
They renovated and put up half walls dividing it to a assortment of room sizes and gave our department this space to use as an office. It is nearest to the cold outlet vent of the AC so our small room gets the full brunt of the system that was meant to cool a great hall, turning the office space into a refrigerator LOL.

But its a decent job, so we just do our best and carry on.

Mr. Ox is still on the proposal stage and hopefully the boss upstairs also likes it as much.
Thanks again.

It was meant to be a storage space but was converted to be our office.

They can not warm it up as they still need to keep all the other areas cool.
