"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.

Return To The Sea

So Christmas is over.
It was fun and possibly the best for a while now.

I had a great and, in my opinion, well deserved rest.
Now it's back to work.

Here's a little look at the project I am working on at the moment:

and a quick digital colouring of one of the character designs:

FIIIIISH

Here are some doodles/sketches as promised.
I have an essay to write at the moment so I might not be able to post for about a week, but we'll see what happens.
doodle in lecture; Dickens and Cruikshank? Pointy faces!


A rough for a one-day project; the rocks and mill are on the wrong side.

Flatfish are just plain mutated and freaky

Boiler Breakdown

Yeah, the boiler broke again.
It's so cold in my bedroom that I'm wearing my labcoat and my hobo gloves - inside - casually.
Did some Postsecret style sketchbook stuff last night.
Here are some of them and the rest will be on Sea in a Sieve.
