More progress… slow but not so steady. Lots and lots of feathers…

Pride month image (more graphic novel like than children's book perhaps)

@chrisaakins Haha, looking great so far Chris!

Went by the bookstore and bought three picture books. I was looking for books that were in the vein of how I like to render illustrations. I found one treasure especially: Ryan T Higgins’ book Mother Bruce. I was inspired to see if I could emulate his style using Inky from my mice stories.
Here is a snapshot of Higgin’s work from his website:
And here is my rendering of Inky enjoying the summer night.
Not half bad! I wasn’t going so much for his stylization so much as his line work and coloring. His line work has very thick outlines and lots of thin messy lines for texture. He uses a single texture overlay on all his coloring and looks like digital watercolor.

Some fanart from twitter suggestions last night

A little bit left to do, but enjoying colouring up this bee girl

@Jeremiahbrown Love it! Those are some chill parents. Unless that is a motel room that they are fantastically destroying, then I can understand the attitude. Lol!

I'm working on character designs for my children's book series (the books will be in Chinese). Here are the model sheets of some of the characters!
Have process photos on my website too:

@Mary-Toth love the style and colours

@JQ These are so good. Hopefully I can buy your book when it is available as I am in China.

@JQ Coming along so nicely! Maybe we should start our own SG illo critique group if there isn't one now! Haha.
-
Making a pack of learning cards. Hopefully I can finish and open a preorder before September. I am committing myself. It is scary
-
@Melissa-Candrasaputra of course it does!!! I like their color choices!
-
@kylebeaudette really like the textures on her fur!
-
@Melissa-Candrasaputra thank you and yes totally!
-
@Melissa-Candrasaputra really cute concept for "two peas in a pod"
-
@PenAndrew Thank you! Haha unfortunately it's apparently fairly difficult to break into the China market as some local Chinese publishers tell me...you must find a publisher in China who will edit it to make sure it fits the China market, and every batch of books you ship there must be separately inspected and approved... Even going to Hong Kong and Taiwan, the Chinese script has to be translated into two different traditional scripts
So yeah, the international English market is definitely still more commercially viable

@AngelinaKizz wow you passed on your artistic genes! Really good!
Only one of my three likes to draw and she’s not anywhere near this ability lol
