Final James Thurber Project

Here are the final images for my BFA project "Snapshot of a Dog." While I'm done for the deadline, I'm going to keep going and develop it some more- I had fun.

"Snapshot of a Dog" by James Thurber

Here are a few of my preliminary visual development ideas for my current BFA class project. It is based off of a short story by James Thurber, and is a nostalgic remembering of a long gone pet Bull Terrier, named Rex. This dog was characterized by diligence and loyalty to his owner, Eddie (who I'm also designing), as well as an air of integrity. I'm trying out more of a flatter visual style this time 'round, basing my work on a children's book illustrator named Aleksander Lindberg. Eventually I will have 2 separate character designs, Rex and Eddie, I will also have an environment of the house and yard area, and finally, I'll have 2 moment pieces finished. ...here we go...
