@drawnbyshawn I agree with @jennyeickbush that a few adjustments could really sell the image. I definitely think a nervous expression would help out. Also, maybe have a lot of the already eaten apple cores lying around to show how much he buys in to the superstition. Something along the lines of " if an apple a day keeps the doctor away, what would ten or twenty do"!
This sounds great! I'd be up for it as well!
Based on my daughter. She's essentially a human hurricane.
These look really great so far. I especially like the "eyeless" version for C. I do agree with @IgorWoznicki that combining B and C is your best bet. I think you could also push the fact that your character is a rabbit bot a bit further. His silhouette doesn't read as a rabbit, if that is indeed what you are going for. Adding more rabbit like characteristics could really help your design and potentially make it even more interesting when he switches to his war bot form. Great job so far! I'm excited to see where you take this design.
Here’s an update to my illustration. @juliepeelart made some great suggestions that I couldn’t pass up so I got rid of the little dog and replaced it with the dog house and tools he used to get floating. I also expanded on the story to show that his target is a comically huge steak cooking on a grill. Thanks again @juliepeelart for your great suggestions!
Ooh, gotcha! Yeah, a zero mask might help him look like a bandido from an old western. I’m looking forward to seeing it as you work on it!
These seem like super fun to do! I’ll have to try it with by little ones. I really love the tree monster!
Hi @Aleksey , I really, really love this piece. Even though there is a lot going on I think it’s working well so far. I really love your line work as well. One thing I’m curious about is the bird whose beak has pierced through the menu. Does he have bad eyesight thus forcing him to look really closely and then breaking through the menu? If so, maybe you could make him squint his eyes? You could even have his glasses on his head to add a little humor to it? It’s just a small suggestion. I really can’t wait to see this with color! Great work!
I really like the direction you are headed with this concept. I think the dark, scary forest is great as it would not be the natural habitat for the desks. You could clump them closer together like a heard of sheep would be. Also, you could make them show fear through their body language. I know it’s tough because they’re inanimate objects, but it would show that they are hesitant about following the boy. I’d also show a pathway leading from the school to where the desks are at. Perhaps it could keep winding in the opposite direction they are headed to show that the kid is leading them out of safety and into potential harm? I hope I was able to help!
