Artwork, Illustrations & Animation

 
As you may have read, we are closing in on finishing the Illustrations.

But that puts us in another situation 
because we are moving toward Animation. 
The demand on creating drawings increases substantially 
with this new level of activity.

That being said, I am looking for 
as many as three additional artists and sculptors,
to emulate the existing artwork and to create new artwork.

As it seems to me, we need a Line Drawing Artist 
who can reproduce our existing characters 
in an array of body positions (as above). 

We also need a Colorist, who can work with watercolors, 
to do finishing work.

But then, since we are moving to animate this story, 
we need an DigitalArtist 
who can create 3D renderings of our artwork and or skins.

We are working with Poser 11 right now. 
 We will need to create skins for the chassis 
and move to setup the scenes, as per the Libretto.

We intend on inserting GIFs into the e-storybook
 for the Subscription Service.

At the very least, we need to recreate this style 
and have more people who can do it.

So if you are an artist 
capable of reproducing the drawings you see here, 
 or sculpting them in clay...

Animation

A Proposed Lithograph

    We are now working to get a grip on Poser Pro and to create scenes from the Libretto using Animation. We expect to do this in conjunction with the Green Screen Sound Stage (which is under construction),  possibly using puppetry and other theatrical techniques.  

   If there is anyone who has worked with Poser and knows how to create skins from two dimensional artwork, we would like to hear from you. We are seeking to convert our watercolor artwork into workable Poser 3D characters.  This is our next mission, after the publishing work of the Storybooks is finished. Of course we will be using this primarily to pitch the project to Industry Professionals, but if it turns out well enough, that might be another product line, which we would market directly.

   Certainly, we will be using these animations in the e-Storybook. The expanded concept for the e-Storybook, which will be a Subscription, uses animations and GIFs in the Illustration panels, in conjunction with an Audio book to create a new concept for storytelling.
