Apologies to Mr. Sendak... Pt. 2

I worked up that Max sketch from before; here he is... I tried to make him half cute/half scary; not sure how well that comes across.

I really need to get a better monitor at home; things look good from here, but they'll sometimes be rather garish on a different screen. I guess that'll always be a peril of digital work. If anyone has any suggestions though, I'm game.

I have heard talk of Cintiqs becoming a new industry standard for concept work, but I'm still not sold on having one at home yet. Hopefully Wacom (or someone) will release an updated version within a year or so; that I could probably go for.



*UPDATE!*
Cory Godbey, from Terrible Yellow Eyes, added this piece to his blog. Thanks for the honor!

Apologies to Mr. Sendak...

My stab at a couple of Where the Wild Things Are redesigns... Carol/Moishe as an armored knight and Max as a crazed wolfboy squire of sorts.

I caught the movie over the weekend and thought it was pretty good, though it was rather sad and probably not great for little kids. This didn't dissuade several parents from keeping their screaming babies inside the theater throughout. Gr...

Anyway. It had some fantastic visuals; it's worth checking out.


Also! I was inspired by the amazing artists here: http://www.terribleyelloweyes.com/
