Final Character Lineup + Synopsis

And here's the colors. The drawings were edited a touch too. I'll update with more images when I have time.



So basically in my concept, Jackie and her mother live in this rundown housing project in the Bronx. Their sleaze-ball landlord is Mr. Giant. Instead of the kid exploring a giant world in the clouds, she travels through pipe-shaped beanstalk vines, making her fun-sized. During her tiny adventure (in a not-so-tiny New York penthouse), she uncovers some dirt on Giant that could royally cramp his expensive style.

Boy when you drop an old fable on a story artist's lap, and put a gun to his head...lol

Going Digital

So my tablet PC came in. Lately I'm not much of a painter, so this development helps me out a LOT. The final should be completely redrawn.

I did one with cool shade, one with really warm shade, and one where Jackie is the only saturated character in the room.

'Jackie and the Giant'

My take on 'Jack & the Beanstalk', 'Jackie and the Giant'.

Jackie

Jackie's Mother

Mr. Giant

The Street Grifter

Some weird stuff going on in that turnaround, but eh, I was in a rush. Colored materials to follow.

Self Portrait Rough and Cleanup

The cleanup lines got a little heavy compared to my other works. As a result, this didn't finish out quite as I wanted. BTW one day this WON'T be me on any given school day. This is my goal.

Clothed Figure Drawing 2 Final

This is my final from Clothed Figure Drawing 2, where I introduced the T-Bone player's combo band. I was only supposed to draw 2 figures, but felt "adventurous". Then I felt really stupid and rushed. I'll have to tweak the tracing before any future use. The diaper fold in the back is going away, I'll say that much.

Watched my childhood fave Christmas movie last night, "Santa and the Three Bears". I totally forgot about the strange and cool graphic transitions at the beginning, and between scenes.
