Concepts

Freddie and the Fairy concepts, based on Julia Donaldson's text.












This is a layout drawing I did to get a feel of how I'm going to do a double page spread. I already see a fatal error.:P Stuff shouldn't be down the middle.

Those are fabulous! I hope you win! :)

Yeah, I suppose it's best to keep anything detailed away from the centre of the double page spread. The wee doggie with the banana nose needs to move over a bit, or he'll get lost in the fold, and that would be a shame.

Oh, good luck, those would so deserve to win.

Completely OTT, I think you'll get something out of reading this.

*SQUEE* The cuteness level is off the charts! Love the toucan hiding down there in the spread ^^.

Omg! This is exactly the kind of thing I love waking up to see. I LOVE the dog. And the birds. And the kitty. And the fairy-lady. And the boy. I love everything!

Fantastic! The main character's sort of a cross between the style of Horrid Henry and Calvin and Hobbes but original in its own right.

The fairy looks a bit pantomimeish, which probably isn't a bad thing, but I can't help but thinking it's a hairy-chested bloke in drag every time I look at the fourth drawing. Maybe you could make it slightly more lady-like and either smaller or taller in comparison to Freddie.

Hope you get the gig. If you do, I'm sure you'll be sneaking in the odd toucan or beetle!
