      @evilrobot So cute they are, sleeping 😃 I would be careful to place text over the details in the image, though - I think it would be a more balanced spread with text in the upper left part of the spread 🙂

        Thanks for the feedback;) The text is just there so I can get an idea of how much room I need to leave for it. It will more than likely go on the same page below the window. I'll format it to fit once I get my drawing finalized. I may make the pig and kitty bigger to fill the page better or put something over in that corner of the room at the top a nightstand or something.

            Well here is that spread finished. I really need to design better for the text. As Camomilla had warned. I ended up having to reverse it and add a drop shadow so it would read. May have to go back and darken up the first spread a little to match it better to this one. 0_1468095488499_3-4.jpg

                Wolf character sketch0_1468690601211_wolf.jpg In my first take on this the characters where going to be human but it came off too perverted with a man biting a kids butt....so I went with the animals and now I think it works and comes off funny instead of sick. Here were my first take on the human characters. 0_1468690696472_boy.jpg 0_1468690706437_vampire.jpg

                  It is really nice to see this evolve, and the story looks fun. Wolf and pig are of course perfect for this! I agree humans would not have worked at all 😉
                  Are you going to stick with the monochrome or it is just a first step? Monochrome may be problematic with kids (experience tells...).

                      Here's some more progress on this. Finished spread for page #1-2 and completed new line work for spread #3-4. Feel like I'm spamming the site. But I got a lot done. Have the three day weekend and it's been great to have some time to work on my artwork. 0_1473043066113_1-2-color.jpg 0_1473043104762_childrensbookline.jpg

                        @evilrobot I love this look with the lines, you capture enough detail and the beauty of your lines shine through. I think you should do some pages in this style if not the whole book!

                            @evilrobot just noticed that your chest of drawers with the robot toy on it is not in 3d like the rest of your room... take it out or fix it... not really needed...

                              Finished this but didn't come out as nice as I would have wanted. Will probably scrap it and start over on the color.0_1473626418255_5-6-color.jpg 0_1473626577827_5-6-line.jpg

                                @evilrobot I don't think you need to scrape it. What do not like about the color?
