Owlpoo.com - New Illustration for “Foxgloves!”

These last few days have been very productive in terms of new illustrations.

So far, I’ve created 10 illustrations which are going to feature in the “Foxgloves” story. These were created using watercolours and a black fine liner pen. I’m happy with what I’ve created so far, some need editing, but some are looking more final now.

I’ve really enjoyed begininng to write the text for this story. As I like to write poetry, I’ve decided to include rhyme or riddles as part of the animals dialogue. Foxgloves is going to feature a jealous adder which tries to tempt the fox, he may speak in riddles to confuse him.
The fox may talk about the adder in this way:- “He speaks in riddles, and confuse me. Is he good or bad? I cannot see…”

This week I’m going to continue writting the text, and eventually I can then play out the page layout for the text and illustrations. It won’t be too long until it’s fully up online!

Have made some art contacts in Dubai which may be quite promising!

I’ll leave you all today with one of the 10 illustrations…this one is titled “adder spy,” with the snake watching the fox’s every move….

Owlpoo is going on holiday!

Owlpoo is going on holiday!
By owlpoo

All owls need a break from time to time. Owlpoo.com will be flying it’s illustrative wings and heading to a completely undiscovered continent - Asia!

Thailand to be exact ! :)

From December the 29th - January the 13th owlpoo will be exploring the diverse culture of Bangkok, the lush rainforests of Chiang Mai and the beautiful tropical paradise of Krabi.

Hopefully the adventure will inject so much inspiration into owlpoo’s up and coming projects in 2009, and bring depth and character into the projected stories.

Followers have so much to look forward to in 2009. On my arrival back from Thailand, so much time is going to be invested completing the first story, further developing the interface of the website, and I have a good idea for a brand new short animation. :)

Owlpoo was contacted and I will be craeting illustrations for some short stories. I will post inforamtion when I get back, but it’s exciting to have a new project to be working on!

That’s all for now, I hope everyone has a fantastic new year, and all the best for 2009!

Owlpoo.com - Coming soon poster.

I firmly believe in self promoting whilst producing a product. I want the world to know what Owlpoo.com is about even before it is fully completed. A working progress, a suprise to the viewer each time he/she views the site.

Today I am giving a sneaky peak to which characters will appear in some of the stories. I've already mentioned a "foxgloves" story, hence the fox holding a glove in the image! So the other animals' poses will suggest what their story will be about.

Google analytics tells me that just over 100 people have viewed owlpoo so far, looking forward to getting the bussiness cards so I can use the power of "word of mouth" along with internet exposure!

I realised today that you have to be 100% in a good state of mind to animate. Any feelings of depression, hungover-ness and over tiredness and I cannot animate to my full potential.

In my next blog I may reveal an email I received which made me smile! :)

Enjoy the poster folks! Feedback much appreciated!
