Second Hand Stevie - McGraw-Hill Australia - Character designs and Cover

Posted by roryroryrory at 07:56
Occasionally I get involved in a project that looks like it's going to be a winner, but for whatever reason falls flat on its face after getting off to a good start. "Second Hand Stevie" was just such a project. I got the text for the first of several books about a young chap called Stevie who organises brick-a-brack events and recycles things, spent ages doing the character designs, doing page roughs, and designing the cover, when it all suddenly got cancelled. Oh well, such is life.

Here's some character design sheets, you can see how they start off and how they develop into real people.




And here's the cover rough, full of the excitement of a second hand sale!



This is a rough mock up I did of the cover so that the publisher could see how it could look.
