Page 1 for Wizard Muddle

So, this is the first page of 6 pages that I'll be creating for this short story, it won't end up covering the whole story but will focus on some of the key moments within it, the feeling here is that I will probably end up changing the text and text box before the final product is complete:

Book Cover for Wizard Muddle:

The font is very much a place holder as I try and find some other variation of it that will suit the cover more, however the cover has already gone through about 7 different changes where either the tree or the wizard has changed constantly, this is my final design (with the font changing soon)

Self Portrait!

So, for our upcoming gallery exhibition which will feature my whole University classes work we all decided we would each do a self portrait of ourselves alongside our work, below you can see mine:



A little explanation on this: the portrait was made to reflect my personality as an avid gamer by including some characters from some of my favorite indie game titles, these include: Binding of Isaac, Super Meat Boy, Journey, Spelunky, N+, Don't Starve, Bit Trip Runner & Alien Hominid. The binary text in the background reads "Gamer" and is repeated over and over.

Wizard design changed again

 

Felt that the previous design of my wizard was far too stiff and didn't make much of an impression, so here's yet another re-design of him:

Wizard Muddle, Character change

Completely re-designed the main wizard character for my new book illustration, mainly on the basis that I just didn't like the previous design much myself, below is the newest design:

New project begins! Short story illustration entitled "Wizard Muddle"

Below is the first concept design for the wizard that will be in my new children's illustration entitled "Wizard Muddle"

Artist Spotlight: Andrew Rowland

Here is an artist that I feel will be inspirational when it concerns my upcoming project, his style is very creative and really manages to capture the innocence required when it comes to children's book illustration, you can see some of his images below:
