Not much of a huge
update on the humanised.com comic project. But here is a sample of the promo I
am putting together for DA which Is been drawn digitally it is of the famer
girl and her pet dragon who will be the protagonists throughout the adventure.
I am trying to get it
done ASAP because my schedule for next week will be rather packed I believe. At
the same time I want to continue development on my other projects including the
pony title cards.
Oh Rats There’s one
other project I have forgotten to mention.
After been out of work
for so long like 7 months and going back and froth with the job centre and
sites. I figured for the New Year it was about time to try a different approach
to getting recognised for my talent. So I looked at visual ways to promote the local Warley woods trust and
its members because they do so much for this tiny bit of greenly situated in a
predominantly urban and built up area. They do nature walks, bat hunting,
golfing (partly because there’s a golf Crouse) and music festivals. Every time
I go to Warley woods I am filled with that warm feeling of nature and community
it has drawn people together over the years so it’s a very special place and
haven to everyone in the region.
Then it hit me like an
apple from Newton’s tree. “I need to design some
cartoons /illustrations
that could sell the services the woods run and present it in a positive light”.
That’s exactly what I
did and have done for the last week and a half on top of other things.
My original idea style wise was to juxtapose
reality with fantasy like my influence Todd Schorr. The above sketch is
to illustrate in a cute funny way families adopting trees from the woods for
protection

During development of the above sketches that i planed on inking in detail.
Someone suggested my iconic bean characters because they are expressive and universal
so they could appeal to everyone without insulting or stereotyping.
I was not
sure about this suggestion at first because i find my Beanies to be a cop out
nowadays. An excuse not to improve on things i cannot design or draw that well
and need more practice in.

But after inking in these two bean related
illustrations advertising the dog walking and bat hunting my mind set
completely changed. I now can see promise in these characters as cards or
cartoons for visitors to pick up as a reminder of the fun time they had in the woods.
I started another one
today but not moved on to colour yet.
Once I have these
illustrations finalized I am sending them off to the trust to get their
feedback on whether my work or art could help in branding the woods to the
public better.
Disappointed that
there’s been a lack of jowy related drawing last week but I am taking each day
as it comes not rushing or forcing anything.
Maybe do some tonight ^ ^ ;
Until next Post LATERS Folks ; )
