Hot Oolong Tea

You guessed it. I'm drinking hot oolong tea right now. It's cold! Here are a few more pictures of character sketches for the children's book. I hope to have some of the flash stuff up soon too. I'll be working on that soon I hope! For the sketches, the colors chosen are subject to change. In fact, after I do the main sketches I'm going to take a really close look at the colors and change them based on whether they work and also what I want them to represent in the story.

One of the pictures if of Christina, who I have already posted. I changed the color and length of her arms. The other two pictures are Tadeusz, the main character, and the Coco fairy. There are a few things I want to change about Tadeusz, such as the little box on his belt. It's supposed to be a pouch filled with tools and parts but I don't like how it looks.

Enjoy!

Chicken and Noodles....as well as some egg and vegetables.

In the last post I named the song I was listening to at the time of the post. I'm not listening to a song now so I posted the name of what I just ate (which I bought from the Mini-stop by my house). There are actually a lot of convenience stores in Japan, and they seem to all carry different, interesting things. Anyways, here's another character design sketch for the children's book:



More to come soon! Thanks.

Digital Love

So the title doesn't have anything to do with the content of this post but I couldn't think of a title, so that's the name of the song I'm listening to right now. Anyways, lately I've been working on the flash intro, a website and, most of all, a children's book/script. I wanted to throw up a concept sketch for one of the characters in the children's story, so here it is:

I didn't crop the image so there is a lot of white on the bottom. Anyways, this is Christina from the story. I'll put more concepts of all the characters up soon. This is just a concept, but for the final artwork I want to use this same type of messy coloring and outlining. I'm going to change the color of her wrist things too, I don't think the green works well.

Also, I hope to have some more info on the website and the flash animation soon...I just need to...er...work out some final 'details' with the Flash program. *ahem*

Thanks!
