Liam: Week 4

Rough Sketchss: Character(Max) + Story pg 1+2

Here is a rough outline of the first 2 pages of the story:

The pages will end up being photoshopped web browsers with the illustrations taking place of the web performers and other graphics. The story istelf will be probably 3-5 pages about Max's experience with a weird web performer named Goldfish. The story will culminate in Max merging his body with his computer and into Goldfish's webcast.

Also; I'm adding the first couple of character sketches of Max himself

Illustrations for Inspiration

Here are a handful of some pretty awesome illustrators (mostly of children's books) that I felt are definitely worth sharing...some might even ring a bell


Brett Helquist


Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events

.. and a random rat book


Dave McKean


Wolves in the Walls is a newer kids' book, and a great one... once i find a library that doesn't have it checked out, I'll bring it in




Shapes and Sizes illustrator


(I'll add more about this guy soon)





Lane Smith



The True Story of the Three Pigs



James and the Giant Peach
(all charcoal pencil!)

Alex

So here are a few sketches for my part of the book. I am planning on it being ten pages long with one large ink drawing per page.

Sketches for scenes and characters so far

This is Max. Short for Magdalene (which she thinks is an awful name.)

The nameless Store Keeper. Runs a traveling pet menagerie, which depending on the day's luck has everything from your regular white mouse, to three- humped camels.

(Unfortunately, he didn't have any goldfish.)

So, Max sets out on a journey.
