Sarah Bowthorpe, project 5

Niel Gaiman is doing a project with Blackberry called "A Calendar of Tales". This is a piece I did to go with his December Tale. My vector work in the past has all been pretty flat, so this piece was highly experimental. I used meshes and feathered edges, just to see what I could produce. This is what I accomplished--some bits of it I like, but there are others I don't like at all.

Posting this for feedback.  I already think I'm going to add more birds spaced though the treetops...

Revision

In this one I added more shading to make it look less flat. I don't even know if you can tell. I also tried the green grass and just wasn't sure about it. I did try to make longer grassy strands. Better?

Colt Bowden Story book pitch

Last week I was asked to do some mock-ups for a sample of a possible collaboration children's book with a friend out in Hawaii. The book takes place on the shores of Hawaii, so I thought it would be a great project to get involved with, seeing as we would have to travel to Hawaii to do some research ;)

As for the text, though it is placed in there, I don't think it is exactly how I will want it to be in the end..

These are mostly just a pitch to show what I think the look could be for the book.

I scanned pencil drawings in as well as acrylic and oil washes and did all the coloring digitally.

Family Quote

I raised the saturation but for some reason it still looks a little desaturated when posted.

"I live in my own little world...but it's ok, they know me here."
