After the fantastic response to Vectortuts+ Totem Collection 1, I’m happy to present Vectortuts+ Totem Collection 2! Part two has some great pieces to look at, including a few submissions from our Vectortuts Flickr Group. You can still take part in this fun project! Check out our second totem, and how to get involved in future Totem Projects, at the jump.
Vectortuts+ Totem, Collection 2
If I had to name the Totem Collection 2, it would be "Futuristic Aztec". This Totem has plenty of cute details, lots of inspiration from Aztec designs and a bit of robot machinery thrown in for good measure.
The submissions to the Flickr Group have been fantastic. If you’ve already sent us work, keep an eye out for future Totem collections. We’re continuing to organize the submissions over the coming weeks and hope to share as many of the artworks as possible.
Haven’t sent us your artwork yet? Find out how you can be part of Collection 3 at the end of this post.
