Jail girl

Here's more stuff from my moleskine. I wanted to make a post just about jail girl since I have lots of plans for her. She's going to be the main character in a game I want to work on with a friend. So I hope that actually happens.

 I'm suppose to be working on concept art and fleshing out the story more. I want to use my moleskine to develop her more. The other plan I have for her is to make my own art book featuring her. Just a small book with illustrations and maybe some comics. I'll probably also included concept art from my moleskin in the art book. Just depends on what I think people would want to see or how it will look once I layout the pages of the book. But I do know i want the illustrations and comics in the art book to just be done in pink and yellow. Those are just jail girl's colors.

Here's an example of a comic that would be in the art book. The ball and chain on the left was me playing with a potential logo for the series. I'm glad I have more than one plan for this because if the game doesn't get made I'll at least have the art book. And the art book is definitely something that would be in my control. The game is suppose to be something short and simple so I'm really hoping it actually gets made, like a demo of some sort.

instructional comic

hello. = w = i finished another assignment for editorial illustration and just had critique. it went pretty well. we actually had a choice to either do a positive illstration for a bad article (like one with bad news) or we could do an instructional comic. i chose the instructional comic, it sounded more fun. and i really wanted to do a comic. i didn't come up with the instructions myself, i got the recipe from the instructables website. i used the recipe for chocolate coffee pinwheels. they sounded nice and something i would actually try to bake and eat. so let me show you my comic pages.

here's my first page. it's just a girl and her cat baking. my professor said the last panel was still too dark (he told me this earlier in a past class and i tried lightening it up with some highlights, but i should have added more highlights or made them stronger).

here's the second page. i still should have lightened up some areas. and i have this tangent on the last panel, like in the area with the right roll and the cloud. they're kind of touching or about to touch.

this is the last page. this one was pretty ok. my professor thought i could have used a light in the stove window. but other than that, it was ok. overall, he liked them and everything. he even commented on how flat and geometric things are but it doesn't make it boring. like i get that look to work. and most of my classmates liked my color palette (i used kuler in photoshop. they also have a website). i just wanted to try using another palette. i usually use bright saturated colors. so it was nice to try something new. i want to continue experimenting with different color palettes.

thanks for reading!
