1st Polished Roughs

Hey All,
      Well, been working on my sketches.  I got some feedback from Brian and he helped me come up with some more AWESOME looking drafts for Hansel & Grethel. They definitely look more Tim Burtonesque inspired.  I had help with Hansel and then traced on top and gave it more feminine features and ended up with Grethel in the same type of gothic look.  I may actually make Hansel's face a bit more wider and Grethel a bit shorter.  These are the recent drawings for now.  Will be working on different looks over the weekend!!!

                TTFN!!!

preliminary drawings#2

Hey All,

      Just posting up some more polished drawings for Hansel & Grethel. They are more complete with their clothing.  I may digital outline and shades these but I will wait a bit until I get feedback.  Stay tuned...!

Preliminary Drawings-Hansel+Grethel

Hi Everyone,

    So I was surfing around and found the look I'm going for and these are some of the images.  I also did some drawings of Hansel & Grethel.  I also drew some clothing ideas that I want to use.  I will be posting a rough storyline later & some colour concepts,but basically Hansel & Grethel were sent to a boarding school by their parents.  The head-mistress/teacher  is really cruel towards them.  More evil towards Grethel.  (Hence why she wanted to throw her in the oven...) They are mistreated and given hard, labourous chores to do; sometimes sent to bed with little to no food etc.  They want to escape this hell and decide one night to run away...i'm still thinking about which direction I want to go..either they run away, or the head-mistress lures them into the forest...still coin tossing that one; and then the story starts from there.  Anyways, that's the premise so far.  Keep watching!!!

Image Influence

Hey All,

  Well I found my ref images.  Think I will use these character looks and modify them for Hansel and Grethel.  I'm sticking with the traditional story...sometimes it's better not to tamper with a classic.  Will be drawing up some sketches and mix and matching styles.  Stay Tuned for more!!!

Wheels R a turnin'

Hey All,
     Looking through some references for Hansel & Grethel.  I thought i'd give the story a more dark, gothic and whimsy touch...Tim Burtonesque.  Anyways, have some research and will be putting up soon.  Getting my image layouts in order!

Welcome 1 & All!!

Happy New Year!!
Hey guys, I hope everyone had an awesome holiday break, I know we all needed some much needed rest. This is my 1st blog entry. Haven't been on a blog in a long while so this will be an interesting journey.
