Cindy Love : Today I Saw (restaurant)

I have been working on some other colored pages in the book, normally, blue would represent night or dreams, but I had to use it for underwater as well, this is a half submerged building on the coast line, and here is a piano to go in to it with a close up of a stair case.

Cindy Love : Today I Saw (small bottles )

I probably made about 50 of these little bottles now, scattered throughout the pages of the book if they are so lucky to be selected.

Cindy Love : Today I Saw (1/5 scale buildings, blow up, french fries)

these are some of the 1/5 buildings, they don't have too much detail on them yet, but i will be adding more details and additional details that connect them to the environment and other structures around them when taking pictures for the set.

Cindy Love : Today I Saw (paraplegic walrus)

I try to make characters with background stories, this particular character is not a main character, but the back story is, a long time ago, he used to have little critters living on him that he took everywhere, but one day he had a stroke, so he became paraplegic, so the little critters built a contraption around him and now they carry him around.

Cindy Love : Today I Saw (closet)

Depending on the scene, each set has a different ratio, I had decided 10cm, the high of the main character as 1. Most of the back ground props are ¼ but the items up front is 1 to 1. I have been making a few furnitures for a scene of Cindy’s room and here is a closet.

Cindy Love : Today I Saw (Cover Page Demo)

It has been a while since I have been working on a new project, so I am going back to basics and will try to make a book, this time, it is not a comic book, but a regular book.  I suppose the closest thing to it would be a children’s book, but I did not have that in mind, it does not mean it has adult content in it, it is perfectly suitable for children, but I find most children’s books boring and dodging too many subjects some people do not see fit for children.  So here goes, I have been working on this for about a year, and now I think I have sufficient enough work to start posting.  I will start off with this picture, it is a demo version of the cover page.  The full name of the book title will be ‘Cindy Love : Today I Saw’.

Ch 2 In to the mind

I have been contemplating how the 2nd chapter would be for this story for a while, way back when I decided to make a series out of this story, I made a prequel that I was very happy with, but the prequel did not fit as a 2nd chapter. Aside from the story, there were other changes I had to decide, at first, I was going to stick with black and white with all the stories, but as time went by, I just had to play around with color. And when I started to play with color, I realized, I had no experience in using color since 5th grade, so I ended up keeping it mono tone for the most part, but I will be playing around and mixing up colors more as I go. Besides, by adding color, I can indicate the difference between where the boy used to be, and where he is now.

Another decision I made for this chapter is to bring in the narrator as not just a 3ed person, but a 1st person character that will interact with the story, the character shape of the narrator was one of my oldest character, and was suppose to be the boy with a hole for a heart, but for the reason of his lacking ability to have a hole in his chest, I had to change it to the new character.

Basically, I guess I am leaving out a lot of the plot that I will have to reveal as the story progresses, but so far, the boy has no idea where he has ended up, but the narrator knows, and he is going to watch what is going on. On the later stories, the narrator will develop his own characteristics as one of the main characters of the story, and the boy will be expressed in a way that, he will be expressed by those around him, and not himself.

Also, I’m not too happy with how the text of the narrator is turning out, I think I will try to keep those text outside the picture box next time.

Also, I need help making this story not too depressing, if any of you got some original jokes you made your self you don’t mind me using, please contribute, you ill be cited :)

Ch 1 The boy with a hole for a heart

I found this story from a book called "Lenore noogies" by Roman Dirge, the story was called "the boy with a heart in a box". I liked the story so much, i made my own redawn version of it with little change from the original, I am going to make more stories branching out from this one. this particular 4 pannel story took me about 6 month to compleat do to my buzy schedual

Apartment 2

Factory-GoocaCola

Market 1

Actually, I did not liked how this structure turned out, but I liked the items display inside it so much, I decided to keep it, later, I thought about wrecking it a bit to give it a warn out look, but I realized, there is a big difference in making a structure that looks wrecked and making a fully completed paper structure and wrecking it.
