Been-busy-Leeza








Hey all,

Trying to find the time to make more posts, but right now - I'll take what I can, even if it's just a few minutes to show some of what I have been mustering for the Snow White prompt.

Here's a sampling of some initial ie, first-draft ideas, for some Snow White extracts:
Queenie, Witchie and Dwarfie with his doggie ... I haven't come up with a suitable character for the fair maiden herself... but as you can see, I am trying to add my spin on this. Do you think the man in the mirror is too scary-looking for young readers? Too sinister perhaps, or does that make him good for the piece?

All comments are most welcome! I've still to add some background matter - just trying to nail down characters at this point.

Goodness! Your line quality is so freakin' FANTASTIC, Leez! I love your characters- they are so very unique.

The witch is my definite favorite...up to no good for sure. I'm not too sure about the queen-she doesn't feel "solid" yet.

Is the face "mirror, mirror" or the huntsman? Maybe if his face took up most of the frame it would give him a stronger presence. I don't think he looks too sinister, maybe bored? haha! Also, he looks older than the others. They kind of have an ageless quality, but he seems like an "old guy." I dunno, maybe it's just how I'm reading him.

Great work so far!

Hey Dee,
Thanks for your wonderful feedback - and compliments! I am still playing with these characters but do love the witch too. She was the character I develped first and so I will double her up as the villain from Michelles challenge back in the summer - yay, a two-fer!
