Part 2 "Would A Kangaraffe Make You Laffe?"


(Original concept art for "Would A Kangaraffe Make You Laffe?")




(Page 5 finished art "Would A Kangaraffe Make You Laffe?")

"Back in the days, long ago, when everything was together – mixed together, animals had a front from one kind and back from another. This book brings laughs and a bit of silliness together, as well as animals."

As I have said in the past I'm giving only a few lines of the text to create sample art for a story the top illustration is the original idea I had, The bottom one is what you will see in the book the changes were made after I was asked to soften up the characters make them cuter & also to cut them in half. Top of one animal bottom of another not blend them together. I liked the way they came out in the end.
I have one more to post next week that will show sample art & the finished version.
