Character design part 1

I know you don't believe it, and I have a hard time to do so myself... But...drumroll please...the character design is finished!!!!!!! Well, kind of... What I'm going to do now is to pin these drawings to the wall so I can have a gander at them from time to time. So that I can see if something must be changed to improve them.

The next step is to make the teasers for these comics projects. This will also function as a way to see if the characters work.

These are photos of the character sheets. When the time is right I will make scans of them and add them to my portfolio. Since I tend to play with my cards close to my chest I will not go into great detail about the projects or the characters. Because I don't want to jinx it!

You are very welcome to have a look at the main characters, for one of my upcoming comics projects!

Take care, and stay tuned next week for more characters!

the White buses: documentation

Finally, some published drawings!

A week ago, I got the documentation that has been produced about the event with the White buses. You can see an earlier post about it further down, or just click on the link: http://pglidstrom.blogspot.se/2015/06/the-white-buses.html

Well, just to be honest with you, I must write that I use the term published in the very broadest of means! As I see it, if I submit drawings and they get chosen, and they get printed or a pdf is made, it's a publication!!

So without further ado, here are some screen dumps (is that the correct term?) from the pdf that is the publication.

Take care!

This is the cover of the documentation, just to prove that I'm telling the truth and not pulling a fast one...! ;-)

The event started already on Friday with a trip to the new Jewish cemetery. My task was to document the event. From quite many photos taken, this is the one they chose for the documentation.

 My comics page...

...and the illustration. The documentation that I received was a low res one so that is why the resolution looks like it does...

A quick update!

It was some weeks ago, since my last update. As you already know by now the process here is an ongoing one... I’m still working with the character design for my projects... It moves slowly forward, and when I write slowly, I mean sloooooooooooooooowwwwwwwllllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!! But that is due to some things that has a great input on the business of the day to day life, like working full time, for instance.

A thought that I entertained this week is that if you (or I) want to do more creative stuff, a small step in the right direction is that "wanting". The next step should be to come up with a plan on how to make it work practically. So I guess it’s a combination of theory and practice, kind of...!

Take care!
