I created this silly thing last night of some things I've already created, just to work on more placement/design practice. I think it looks more like a scrapbook layout this time around rather then a web site design idea.

 

 I liked my busy bee layout design so much that I thought it might make a cool journal design. Except I have no coding skills (or premium membership) so I doubt this will ever be used. Still, it was fun putting it together. I thought it make make a good book mark design, too.

Misfit Characters - Development ideas

I wanted to see how well I could redraw and reposition my misfit characters. I think I had too many details in the originals. It makes them a bit of a pain to redraw. :/ So I may revise them a bit. Certain ones at least to make them a bit simpler and easier to re draw. But this was something quick and fun that let me try out a few new techniques. The colors are a bit too similar so that the bits really don't stand out so that should be changed, but the scene was fun to draw and I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out.

I really really liked how this one turned out of my misfit characters. Simply because I love nighttime scenes and this one came out more like I pictured it. Still needs a bit of retouching in some places but I loved drawing this so I wouldn't mind at all touching it up. ;D

You can see the previous posts about the Misfits here, here, and here.

Misfits

I've had the thought of these sorts of creatures floating in my head for awhile. I call them Misfits. They're basically the mixed up parts of different animals.

The yellow thing is what I currently call "caterpurrrrler" and the bear looking creature is "teddly-ellie-owlie-cat" Though I think I'll need to shorten it into something else. XD

Hopefully will get to come up with some more friends for them soon and get some info down for each of their personalities. :)

Quote of the week

Okay, I've decided to try and start doing a quote of the week. This may be the last time you ever see this, but hopefully I can start doing this just to incorporate some quotes onto my page. :)

Here's my header for the occassion. If I continue with this idea, then the header and the quote will be the only thing in the post. Also, the I will try to have a book quote here, which may either be from a book or about books or something, but it may not always happen. Here goes:

"Good children's literature appeals not only to the child in the adult, but to the adult in the child." ~Anonymous
