September WIP | Squid Ink Fairy | Requesting Feedback
-
@miranda-hoover I love the idea of Ellie being an animal instead of a human!
I don't know much about children's book spreads either, but I like the layout of #3 the best.
Also, an idea that might be fun is Ellie having multiple cameras (since she has so many arms) giving the text a little more weight. Like, she REALLY wants to get the picture and isn't taking any chances.
Just a thought! I love your idea and can't wait to see more!
-
Really cool concept! I'm looking forward to seeing the final. I personally like 3 the most because like some other people have said, Ellie looking at the fairy definitely guides the eye across the page. And I think that one looks the most like she's hiding if that's what you're going for, and the plants surrounding the fairy really put the emphasis on her
-
I like 3 best also! It directs the eye and the other pages seem very symmetrical. Very creative Idea! Can't wait to see the final piece!
-
I love the character design of the squid!! Especially how the head part looks like the pen nib.
In terms of the comp it's number 3 for me, I think it works really well and i'm looking forward to seeing the development whichever you go for
-
@miranda-hoover this is so cute!
-
@miranda-hoover I really love 3, and 5. 3 being my favorite because there is a curiosity and apprehensiveness.

Thank you all for your great feedback! It's been super helpful
Think I'll go forward with #3 for this one. -
@JoshuaDages
That is a great idea! Thank you! -
Amazing! Such an out of the box idea. Love it! I am really drawn to #5 but I think #3 shows more of the octopus and I think that works beter compositionally as well.
-
Super love your concept! For me I like 2 the best, it seems to be the moment before the action and allows for my own imagination to fill the gaps.

@Gabby-Correia & @erinrew Thank you!

Thought this would be a good stage to show my progress. It's still a sketch (I had a bit of a battle with the plants), and I haven't sorted out my values just yet. I took @JoshuaDages awesome idea and added in some more cameras, and if I have the time, I'll try to make each camera look different. I also changed the position of the fairy and the text (from thumbnail #3
) and I was curious if this works better. Also, any thoughts on the font choice? -
@miranda-hoover I love the way this is coming out! Great job!
-
@JoshuaDages Yay! Thank you!
-
@miranda-hoover I think the new positioning of the text/fairy is much better. I really love this one, sweet concept and really nice design!
-
@mamadraw Oh good! Thank you for the feedback
