Threw Down Their Spears




Still working on the children's book mock-up.
Photoshop saves me time but I dislike it.

"And When The Stars..."

At this moment I am working on a children's book which I am writing and illustrating.
It's likely to be in that 'picture books for older children' category that picture books with lots of words seem to go in.
I'll see how it goes, if it turns out good I might finish it/ try and get it published/ get some printed and sell it myself.
Anyways I have here some sketches that might be of interest to you.




 I was thinking that I would like all the characters to look kind of floaty and free, mythical and with some sort of webbing/wing/fin/flipper, because at the beggining of the story all the animals can float around as though there was no such thing as gravity.

As for Supernova Clover... she was already a character I had, and she's an alien so she doesn't count. Im not sure why she has a ruff in this picture to be honest, I just felt it was needed, at the time, I think.

Even more sea



In the story she has a mental breakdown and runs away to the sea where she used to live, but her childhood home has been destroyed and she has lost contact with her parents. In the last picture she stands on the edge of a cliff. Her efforts to return to happiness were in vain and she does not know what to do next.
