THIS COULD BE A CHILDREN'S BOOK #8.

Folks,

here I am again and I give you some new work-in-progress stuff from my children's book project. The ideas grow and with it the tiny world of these nice creatures. In some weeks I guess I'm going to have all the pictures developed. Then I will assemble all these sketches to some kind of a storyboard and see whats next... But until then there's a little hard work to do. So, let's go on!

Cheers, Robert

Yo people!

Sometimes I use to dream. One night a few days ago I dreamt of this thing below. I guess, my subconscious mind has a fine sense of humor.

Cheers, Robert

 

THIS COULD BE A CHILDREN'S BOOK #7.

Hey Folks,

This week I went on with the creation of the pages. I did some stuff over the last weeks but there is still a lot of work to be done. How I create a picture out of the blue? Well, I have a thought of what must be shown on the page or a feeling how the mood must be and then I start sketching. I mostly start with the "main attraction area" where the action is and then there follow some "unpopular" spaces where you can discover things. Normally I use to make a few versions before I vaguely have that still from that movie which is in my mind. Then I continue with placing objects, "terraforming", setting dark and bright areas and so on. The more concrete the pictures get, the more details and their position, size, color and meaning will be determined. I'm totally exited to see where this will guide me!
I even did some character design for a "dark creature" which will be a nice college of our main character. I tried different styles between Dracula, mad scientists and Matrix agents and I guess over the next week there will be my favorite character screaming and shouting at me: "Hey! Choose me!" Until then I simply go on and enjoy what I do!

Cheers, Robert
