Making Narrative pieces- Tortoise and the Hare project

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Heather-Boyd haha thanks! Hare’s ears are always up when his happy or agressive and I wanted to emphasize it in the illustrations. However, the glass cover on his ship prevented me from showing just that. So I decided to add ears to his space ship so that Hare’s ears won’t hit the glass whenever they perk up.

@jthomas thanks! Definitely noted.

@StudioLooong thank you!

[lenwen]

I feel you! I really love your designs and they look so much fun!
I also love your color scheme

[Johanna Kim]

Such good advice and I love your story twist idea!

@nyrrylcadiz I like the characters and the flying stones (meteors) have more deep in values, than the characters, the hare the most, is missing some dark values.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

Here’s an update! I feel that it’s done. Ok, I’m ready to move on to the next.

@nyrrylcadiz It made me happy to see this update! Great piece, and great idea overall. I can't wait to see more of your progress on this project.

@nyrrylcadiz cool, I missed this thread before now but I love love your artwork!

@nyrrylcadiz The rabbit very much reminds of me Zap Brannigan from Futurama so I think you nailed his attitude.

Best detail for me is the fact that the turtle is wearing his suit underneath his shell. Awesome design!

[Johanna Kim]

@nyrrylcadiz This turned out so awesome! Looking forward to seeing how this series progresses.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@Braden-Hallett lol! Hahahahahahafhaahaahahahahhahha! it’s funny you mentioned that coz I always thought that hare looked like Fry! But yes his obnoxious confidence does remind me of Zap! I was even planning to do a Fry meme with Hare instead. Hehe

I love the colors you used for the piece , my eyes instantly know where to look. It's adorable

[JennyJones]

@nyrrylcadiz I (like @Braden-Hallett ) was going to say that my favorite thing was the turtle and how he looks like he had to put his shell on over his clothes. He’s such a round and super cute guy! I look forward to seeing more pieces from this project. It’s a fun concept.

[Jorge Valentin]

Woah awesome work! I really your design process on this. The characters are adorable, especially the tortoise, love how he turned out. I'm interested in seeing how you illustrate the rest.

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

Here’s another update! I still have a lot to do but I just want to show you guys where I’m at. Any thoughts? I’d be happy to hear them. Thanks.

@Coley @Corlette-Douglas @JennyJones @Jorge-Valentin thank you!

I think it looks great. I love narrative pieces and I think you have a great thing going here.
Can I ask what you use to illustrate?
I am a traditional artist using color pencil, watercolor and graphite at this point and painting in acrylic but I feel that it might be a good idea for me to start using a digital platform for my work.

I love the concept of your current project and I think you have a strong sense of what you are communicating.
I can imagine this being interesting to kids.

@Jessica-Jolicoeur hi! I’m using Procreate on my ipad

[Jessica Jolicoeur]

@nyrrylcadiz

I have been doing research and I have heard about procreate quite a bit.
I love traditional media so I am reluctant to get into a digital format but I also want to see what I could do with it.
Thank you.
