I designed some Vale Tudo fight shorts. This style of shorts was popular with fighters a long time ago in Brazil and have since been a staple of MMA fighters and nogi grapplers the world over. My version features a big bat that I drew. (Big bat in Portuguese is known as Morcegão).
Here's how I put the design together:-
 |
| 1. Quick sketchbook rough |
 |
| 2. Larger A3 working roughs, lots of them! |
 |
| 3. Settled on this facial expression and wing shape |
 |
| 4. Vectoring up in Illustrator |
 |
| 5. Laying out on a template I mocked up |
 |
| 6. The real thing |
The Morcegão vale tudo fight shorts are available here at my Meerkatsu store.
I love them! I would totally wear those if they were full spats. :)
