Extra! Extra! Read All About it!

Things were a bit quiet here but back on track with another spread "sketch." Imagine Daredevil Chicken's excitement as his hero is coming to town.

Another Page and Staying Motivated

Another page in the works in our book. I'll pass this along to Scott and he will have his take on it. Its been a struggle for me to stay motivated amongst my many projects so its nice to have a partner that I can "report" to!

Color palette

A quickie post today about color palettes. I've been getting good feedback about what I've been using in some of my art for this project so far. Just wanted to share that its good old' colour lovers to the rescue!

Merging Art- Take 2

After the first try of us merging our art together, we tried it another way in which Scott painted some traditional background for me to add on top of.

Scott's traditional background

Jannie's digital art added on top

At first, I wasn't sure if I can "match" my digital art with the painterly background. But it actually made me think outside the box from my normal process and routine, but still using Illustrator to create my art. I also got to try a different color palette in which I didn't normally think to use.

I think this blends quite nicely. I'm not sure how we will divide up the work but passing art back and forth between us is working out well. Still need to nail down a certain style but we are getting there.

Thanks for all the votes on our hero's name  here and Facebook. We still haven't decided but we'll settle on a name soon!

Avoiding Microsoft Word

How does a story come together? Does one just open Microsoft Word and start typing? I decided to add some more words along with my doodles. Scott and I had decided to write our own version of the manuscript and send it to each other. But I was already having serious writer's block.
