Process on work for my portfolio (ongoing)
-
@animatosoor Thank You, I am glad it looks good.
This quatations marks I have are in german style....in Germany we have them down and up :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: -
@MichaelaH Oh, I didn't realise! I'm so sorry about that.
-
This looks great Michaela, i was looking forward to seeing this finished yay!
As for the text, I don't think you need to say 'the fish with the red fins' as we can see from your illustration that he has red fins
Maybe give them names like Little Fish and Big Bear or something, and I think there should be a pause between when the fish asks the question and then tells the punchline, maybe say something like "Bear started to think, but before he could answer..." so that the Bear is involved and the reader can follow the conversation between the two characters -
@hannahmccaffery Thank You Hannah, really appreciate your help with the text. I will change it.
-
@hannahmccaffery What about this?:
„Ohhh, ohhh you know this one?“
Flip din‘t wait for the bear to answer and started to tell its joke:
„Why don't bears like fast food?“Berry started to think, but before he could answer...
„Because they can't catch it!“ -
@MichaelaH That's flows much better in my opinion
You may want to lose the line "Flip didn't wait etc" and maybe have something like:"Ohhh, ohhh do you know this one?" Flip asked "Why don't bears like fast food?"
Berry started to think, but before he could answer-
"Because they can't catch it!" Flip blurted out as he splashed around in a fit of giggles.That's only an idea anyway, I'm not the best at writing so it's totally what you're happy with and what you think flows well
-
@hannahmccaffery Thank You, hope it is ok, I will use Your text, I like it a lot. Thank You for your help.
-
Fab! Are you happy with it as that's the important thing?
I think the text gives Flip more of personality now and I would love to see more of these characters 
-
