Further Progress

So, this is progressing. Things that I've done, 3D tree's and signage. I still have a bridge and some tidying up to do, including a little more tweaking to the leg details, as i've not finished them yet! Also, got to figure out how to make the clouds work, in a 3D sense.

Last example dps for kids book

Not sure about the left page, but it'll come together. This is the third dps, and the final pages i'm illustrating. Now is the task of going back over the images and giving them depth with textures, lighting, shadows and effects, to hopefully bring it to life, so think of the images i've done so far as placeholders for the final images.

Hopefully the book will have a similar style to my previous kids book; http://sherrington-art.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/the-woman-who-wanted-to-eat-child-2.html

Another Page WIP

Here is another page, still working simple. Hopefully i can work the right textures to make this book look great.

Second double page WIP

Some basic pages, technically the second DPS.

Another page from my book

Some early pages from my book, WIP.

Top is a single page, added sky and cloud but not sure now, text is going there and will probably suit it without the sky. Bottom is a double page, the first pages, was going to apply textures to help add some interesting elements, but I'm unsure now, but it will need more work.

Opinions welcome!

Book Cover almost finished

Something like this perhaps. Almost finished, i guess it's just staring at it till it's finished...

Geeetar

So this is my basis for the pattern of my Guitar. You could ask questions but it's just some WIP, and it'll become a little clearer once I've added the patterns etc, but this is what im doing.

TWITW

This is what im going for, going to probably vector most of this. then work a little over it.

Aztec Queen Elizabeth II

going to do a few of these for the royals, illustrafy them then put them together with some other british symbols into some sort of patterny thing?

Sally and Toby

Hopefully this is the general book cover

Rough kids book cover

Front Rough

So yeah, bit more development. Also done some characters but not scanned or worked with them yet, this is a rough for my cover, trying to get a look and feet before i take it further. Thinking about whether or not it's a good idea to plan this story as a Tablet/Phone App, as an interactive story to be more precise, the problem is, if i'm not making it into an actual app as a final outcome, because i lack the skill (at least for now) then how am i going to show the interactive parts, the movement etc without drawing just an image with a ton of arrows going all over the place, showing the movement? I guess what I need to do is plan the backgrounds as a drawing, plan the separate pieces as a drawing, then I can show them out of context. The drawings work well i feel, however the problem is i think it would be better, and easier to make as a 3D, but stylized App, which is double the work, and i can't do 3D either. GAAAH. Answers on a postcard, to what i should do.

FMP Story roughs

Some rough drawings and the start of my storyboard, just thought i'd share, Happy Tuesday.

Evil woman

So by this point, all the people are avoiding giving her their children to eat, the text reads 'These stupid people. Now they're going to make me really evil' The next page will be about eating 1000 children instead of just one. Want to do the next page but it depends how it will look, still need to make it a bit better.

As for this page its going to be a silhouette puppet as the background.

2 Line Drawings for Picture book

SHE IS SO EVIL N SHIT.

She Roamed the Land looking... Line drawing

So this is the outline for one of the Pages, above this is a page with text, and some text will fit on here as well. Her eyes have no pupils or cornea? Because they are glowing, there will be some light emmiting from her eyes, due to the way im doing it, that will be added last as it wouldve just got in the way of colouring the rest of the image.

Old woman pretty much done

This is what the character will look like, except for the hands that is... just thought, because ive not done her lower half, legs and dress, might end up rubbish / not working, ive done previous images of this character so i kinda know what will work...

Old Woman take 2.

She wants to eat children....!

Second attempt. Better IMO, still could use some tweaking though :)

Almost done - Character

so here is the child eating woman so far, she is a puppet, couple of things i want to change, but not lots.
