Storytime by the Seaside.
This illustration was going to be the first page in a silent kids comic that I put together for submission to a publisher. She was going to be a Narrator that sets some tone and context by way of introduction. Radically rethinking the whole thing, including this character. I really like her, but that's how she goes. Cutting room floor, etc. I wanted to project a feeling of cosy mystery, I think I came close at least!
Included are some details...
Wow great work again Tim! Cool looking plants :D
Hi, i would like to say, the pictures are impressive, eye grabbing to young minds. Perfect for any story, the eyes are tricky. Wow!
Glad you like!
You've just set the tone for my whole day. Much resteem to you!
Thanks very much!
I just found you thanks to @artzone. I love this piece! I love art with story and this has it in spades and I'd love to read a picture book in this vein. I hope you do more with this series/character. I often find myself in a 'theme' or 'series' and I need to paint it out as the visual story unfolds. I am glad to have found you and you have a new follower :)
I saw another interesting piece you had done and only now realized I hand't followed for some reason, but now rectified.
Thanks for following, I'm glad you like! Stay tuned 😀
i wish to listen to this storytime pls~ such an amazing piccar~ love the details, the inking, the colouring, the character design, everything ! wonderful post <3
upvotes and resteems
Thanks so much!
wow, excellent illustration, so many things to look at!
From your paragraph, i'm not sure i understood correctly, was this illustration not accepted by the publisher?
Oh it was more like the whole concept of a silent kids comic was a bit too hard to sell. I'm working with a writer to rethink the whole thing as a regular picture book. Glad you like the picture though!
Wow! I have no words! Its amazing!!
Thankyou! I just followed you. Your stuff is exactly the kind of thing I want to do be doing more of, or at least being inspired by; so I look forward to seeing it in my feed! 👍👍👍
Awesome drawing, cool details -including the ornaments and statues peaking out from behind the chair and on the shelves.
Thankyou! Yes I get a little lost in the details sometimes!
I really love this! Falcor probably went to this storytime!
The only thing better than Falcor is GG Allin riding Falcor.
Ill just remind myself to not hang out under that mission in case Falcor forgot to put his diapers on. Things could get messy!
Beautiful work @timmolloy, happy to find your work here :)
Thankyou!
