James Thurber stayed here from 1901-03 in Church Falls, VA when he was about 7 years old. This was where James and his brother shot arrows at each other. Looks kind of creepy like I'm standing in front of someone's tombstone. :0

doodles




i'm have problems picking her age. for the "nice" version i'm trying to make it have a feeling of a favorite auntie or grandma... i can't decide. So the "evil" one is suppose to be a bitter women. i'm still working out my story. its suppose to be a dimsum float, set in san francisco. she lures little children, kidnaps them, and cooks them for the stuffing of pork buns(cha siu bao). anyway, if you guys like any that would help me go into a direction. thanks

Liz Comp


I combined ideas from a few of your comps into this one. I don't think this whale works that great, but I thought having part of the whale in some way would be important in that comp.

moment sketches


These are some rough photoshop sketches of moment pieces. I was trying to just illustrate some of the main beats of the story. Do any look like they could be a full blown moment piece? Any feedback would be appreciated

ship ideations







I have been redesigning my ship, and thought I would post my sketches and get peoples' opinions, if anything stands out. I have trying to mix functionality with design, but am not sure any of these boats look like they could take on a whale. Any thoughts?

My Albino Eel

Hello everybody! Here is my albino eel. I am leaning towards the pink one but I also like the yellowish one, it seems really different. Also, I think I want to beat him up a bit more he seems really clean and healthy. Any thoughts? Any other comments also appreciated. Danke!

Smells like squid

Hey folks, I have some more detailed sketches for my squid monster -- crits? I'm trying to somehow show that it's big... but keep interesting shapes at the same time. Really trying to make sure that body segments aren't the same length. Anyway, lemme know!

Crabby

Hey all, this is my Mr. Crab WIP. Any advice would be appreciated, especially with the painting. How are my darks? Is it too much? Thank you in advance.

Huge Squid Shapes


Hey guys, I have been trying to get some squid shapes down.... but I am having an issue with keeping it squid-like, but then kinda playing with shapes at the same time to make it more interesting. I don't think I'm getting it. But, hey, here's what I have so far. If you like one or think it's going more in the right direction but could use ______, then let me know. Additionally, if it's all bad, gimme a suggestion or two. Thanks :D

Ship Design


Here is my ship design, after going through many thumbnails, I have decided to go with this design. The ship is supposed to resemble a sperm whale. Any feedback is welcomed. Thanks.

Turkish Ship Progress


Does the character go with the ship? Based in the Ottoman empire, more towards the turkish region. I'm hoping to get some opinions before I decide if I want to scrap it. Thanks in advance.

Ship Ideations




ship sketch



Hey all, here is a VERY rough sketch of the direction I am headed with the ship. Since it isn't Ahab's ship, I wanted it to be less of a reflection of my character, and more of an influence on her. I want it to inspire insanity. I am going with more of a pointy sail look. I have my rough sketch with triangle sails, and also a more cleaned up version with a more realistic take on the sails. I am still leaning toward triangles, but would like some opinions. This isn't going to be the final drawing, just an exploration of the design. Thanks!
