And another try out. 
Think she needs more of the gawkiness of the boy. And play with the line more.

Today's little experiment. 




Character redesign


I'm rethinking the style for my characters, and am loosening up again and exaggerating the bodies more. Much happier with this. Much more fun. 

They are rough roughs, but will work from them and will post up developments as I go.

Character studies


This is my explorer team! These are some tests of how they might look. 
I am currently pulling together a story board for them, as they look for the mythical 'Tubby ButtButt' monkey on a remote island. The name is open to change ;-) 
I have made them younger for the story.






The leader.



The trusty dog.







The easily distracted friend.

Explorers story development


These are some quick paintings and sketches for the development of my Explorers story.







This is a rough image of what the explorers think the monkeys look like.




What the monkeys think of this depiction of them...



They decide to steal the explorers dog and disguise it as this fearsome monkey they are looking for using things from around the forest...


Grizzly Bear story roughs


These are some rough paintings and sketches for my Grizzly Bear story. He finds a girl dangling from a tree, and they form a friendship, where she takes him along on all her favourite things to do.

Picture book concepts


 These are two pages for a concept of a possible children's picture book. It's about some amateur zoologists who travel to a jungle (somewhere!) and try to look for a rare 'round bellied monkey' that has hardly been sighted. These travelers think these monkeys a huge fearsome creatures... but their quite the opposite!






















Picture book concepts


These are concepts for a children's picture book, about a boy who is afraid of swimming in the sea, but with his trusty inflatable chicken, he overcomes his fear!
