Pepper-Mint Candy, The Trio Together Last! :)

After having the Original Idea for this Trio during December last year, I now finally have an established design each, for Pepper Mint and Candy!

 I've been working on and off on developing these guys during the course of the year, and I picked out my rough concepts of Candy the other day and decided to see about establishing a finished visual design for her, and begin to explore her character.

The reason why these guys are also very important to me, particularly Pepper, is because last year I wanted to completely change the way that I drew, and it's from creating Pepper that I've began to develop my new methods over the course of this year, and I've definitely liked the changes!

Be sure though, these guys will continue to develop as I do, all the way! :)

Q-'Pottle'-Pootle 5!

I've recently been watching the new Animated Series based on the book, Q-Pootle 5 by English Children's book Illustrator, Nick Butterworth.

 It's a seriously well constructed series with great writing and characters and the team have really worked hard to bring Nick's warmth and style alive in the series. I felt like when I was a kid watching the animated series of Percy the Park Keeper, serious bit of nostalgia!

Sketched this up based on a conservation between Pootle and Stella in Episode 5, when Pootle comments if he had flowers facepainted on his green skin he'd end up looking like a garden. Seem's he and his trusty ship have had a bit of a 'Garden makeover' by Stella, with some artistic help from Opposie.

Truely some British Animation at it's best so check it out! :D
