Million Dollar Ballers was a stunt MTV did, where they ran a day of hiphop and rnb programming, including stuff like the 50 cent episode of Cribs etc.
I needed to get this packaging done real quick because I
was going on annual leave a couple of days after this was briefed in, so I decided to try out the old ink blot animation technique because it seemed like something that would be pretty quick to animate.
I spent a day doing the illustrations (the car is from a photo of my dads XYGT by the way), and managed to bust out the animation the next day before leaving for annual leave.
MTV later developed an online video series called MTV Ink, they wanted the same look as I had used for Million Dollar Ballers, just reversioned to suit.
You can see a screenshot from that at the bottom of this page (the hot chick with the gun is my girlfriend. I got her to pose for it. She doesn't really have tatts, or smoke, or sling guns. But she is hot!).
