Children's Book Art

  Some more older work I did for the book series "The league of Elder" by Ren Garcia. This time the job was a children's book. I was working with pre existing characters in the book series. That I got to redesign the characters in my style. As well as the environments. The page layouts, pencils, inks, colors and textures are all done by me in photoshop. 

Here I'll show some of my process from rough to finish. 

Page 1

The establishing shot with the emphasis on the door and the character's reactions. The characters live high up in a big tree that is located on another planet. 

Page 2

For the page 2 final. I realized the character was way too dark. So adding the creamy colored apron nicely framed the foreground character.

I enjoyed working on this piece as I go to use more color variations. As well as show a variation of environments and props. 

Page 4

My initial idea was to show just the characters. But by adding the shadow of the old lady really brings her into the scene. As well as emphasizing the atmosphere of her angerly towering over the other characters. 

Page 5

Here I had everything in the scene point to the little girl. Raising the grandma's arm made for a stronger pose.

Page 6

Like with the previous scene. I made sure to keep the shadow of the grandma in the scene. 

Page 7

Here I got to show a bit more of the environment outside of the tree house.

Emphasizing a new day and lighter atmosphere as the character returns.

Here I have a pulled out establishing shot that I'm pleased with. Establishing the area and the next day.

Here is an introduction of different characters and the prepared little girl.

Children's book character design

 Some more older work I did for the book series "The league of Elder" by Ren Garcia. This time the job was a children's book. I was working with pre existing characters in the book series. That I got to redesign in my style.

I designed the old lady character that was supposed to resemble a mole. 

I redesigned the outfit of the little girl character to better suit the story. 

The process can be viewed on my website here

Character design, two sisters

This was another older commission I did for the book series "The League of Elder" by Ren Garcia. In this character design I had to show two very different characters with one being more elegant and the other more casual. As well as the dynamic between them. 

Jellyfish Ballerina

Another Mermay mermaid finished. Digital painting done sin photoshop. Enjoy! :)

Mermay Mermaids 2018

So here are some of the Mermay mermaids I finished. Playing around with a more cartoony style and drifting from the classic style mermaid with these.

 I wanted to make my mermaid a bit different from the classic so I based her off an eel. I was also thinking a primadona type and kind of Marlyn Manroe. This one started as a pencil sketch that I colored and inked in photoshop. Enjoy :)

 My next mermay mermaid. I based this one on the ruleska the 2 tailed mermaid. With a combination of the classical 50s cartoon style. The original sketch was in pencils then finished in photoshop. Enjoy :)

 New Mermay mermaid. This gloomy one is a nice contrast to the previous mermaid. Lots of fun with this character.

Her name is flower, she is all about bliss. I listened to pocket full of sunshine while painting her 😌

Venice Carnival Theme!

So this was my submission for a character design challenge. Venice carnival is one of my favorite themes so I was really excited to do this one! <3
