While doing research on CG Girls in the last couple of months I came across a character called “Pepper”. I became intrigued by this indescribable girl in red and decided to investigate further. In no time did I realize that there was a huge fan following and lots of great Pepper artwork out there.

He quickly become aware that in the process of creating these works Pepper had gained lots of fans who decided to design their own unique Pepper artwork.

At the time I got into the Hulk because of the popularized TV series titled ”The Incredible Hulk” that aired from 1978 – 1982 starring Lou Ferrigno as The Incredible Hulk himself and Bill Bixby as DR.

About a month ago I wrote a post that showcased some really talented artists’ designs and their tribute to the Adidas brand. In today’s post I am featuring some really cool Nike designs. Although Adidas is my preferred brand, I still think that it is important to showcase these beautiful Nike inspired designs which are equally as impressive. It’s not so much about the brand itself…but how each brand can inspire designers to create beautiful and compelling artwork for their respective brands. I hope you enjoy!
