Another Update on Chapter 3

Like 2 hours more of work. Am I getting minimum wage here? Taking a lot longer than I thought, but it's fun. Big ol flash shine in this one. Enjoy, click for big.


Curly black hair will be the death of me.

Flying Koi Thingy



The majestic puffer koi is very tame. The people of this planet use it to travel the vast skies. She moves by sucking air into her enormous cheeks/gills and puffing it out the back, propelling her forward. She is too heavy to land on a world and lift off again, so the people have her anchored to their planet and climb a ladder out to her.

Sketches

I got my letter of offer from Odyssey!

Well I've been looking up and sketching references and ideas today, which aren't very interesting to look at, so I'll post some old (and new) Do stuff from my sketch book!


A sky dolphin! I got the idea from a medieval etching of a person riding what looked like a prehistoric marine creature.



A flying jelly fish thing with feathers... I don't know either. It eats watermelons as this Pilgrim knows!


An alternate Battlerina.


The dragon writing his letter at the top and on the bottom it's Arber and her squirrel meeting a paper crane in the temple for the first time!

As always, click for bigger!

Hero Machine Pilgrim

Well it looks like I've got the internship with Odyssey, pending paperwork of course. It's going to be difficult- especially the commute! But, that's how it goes I guess, I hope I enjoy it!

Maybe I'll post some more drawing later. In the mean time, enjoy my Hero Machine Pilgrim!



Chapter 3 Begins!

Sketchy Chapter 3

Started chapter 3 today. I like to do a quick sketch first, step away, and come back so I can better see any mistakes. You'll see I've made note here. Again, sorry for the photo instead of scan. School labs open up next week!

Yearbook Faces

My friend Daniel who is the brains behind this whole Do thing has been sketching yearbook pictures, and I thought that'd be a pretty swell idea to do myself so... here you go. Forgive the low quality, it's a photo and not a scan since my laptop died and the scanner doesn't work with Vista (we hates Vista). Click for bigger.


While we're at it, I just got all the photos in from Sue at Into my Garden so I sketched this quick mock up to see how the color schemes and placement would go. I thought once I get the real thing going here I'd try a couple more... integrated and less 1995 Netscape table border look. I went with green since that seems to be her signature color, especially on the old website. The green corners are supposed to be the little plastic thing that holds it.

Blah Blah Blah

Well it's been a busy busy weekend, I haven't hardly had time to draw or design. Hopefully I can pick that up strong tomorrow! Sue just sent me more photos so I can finish her mock up, so that is just great. I'm also about to sign a contract for Do: Pilgrims of the Flying Temple! Fabulous!

I've been all over the world and back. Had a job interview today at Odyssey in Euless, and had the great pleasure to get a flat tire. What a pain- and of course I'm a little girl so I couldn't replace it myself. The roadside service guy was super friendly though and I'm back in town just fine. Remind me not to go that way during rush hour anymore unless I have to! Wow! Hopefully the interview went well, I'm pretty confidant it did- and hey, at least I made it alive, right?
