I’ve recently had the joy of working on a book cover about a talk show hosting guinea pig called Gerry. I’ll post the finished artwork, details about the book and author, along with a link to amazon once it’s finished. In the meantime, here’s some sketches and character progressions…
-
- Thumbnail of cover and more detailed character sketches.
-
- Action! A scene from the book and pretty close to the final cover design.
-
- The croc chases Gerry! I’m thinking this is the best point in the book to illustrate.
-
- Gerry interviews a temperamental time travelling crocodile.
-
- Early hedgehog sketch. Again, this will need clothes.
-
- More animated, but too skinny! Gerry eats a lot of cake in the book!
-
- Gerry presents a chat show. He needs to be bipedal and wear a suit.
-
- I’m starting off with a rough sketch of a real guinea pig (from memory)
