Cover

Here is the Cover to my story! I wanted to keep it simple, with Canon as the main focus! I didnt want to give away any hints about the Turtle in the cover this way the reader will wonder "hmm rocks cant move, lets see what they are talking about!"

The back cover is simple and has the feel that the text pages do inside of the book with a simple landscape illustration above it! I've worked on this book and the illustrations for hours and hours on end, its nice to see my book finally come together! I am very proud of all of my hard work!

Friendship never ends

Last full page illustration of the book! I still have the text to finish for this page as well as the back and the cover and title page!

friends that swim together stay together

Up Close and Personal

Here is another illustration --> Progress --> I have not put it into photoshop yet, but here the two main characters are talking to each other!

Here it is after being put into photo shop!

Always room for improvement

So as i went and looked back over my first page I noticed that Canon's fur was too dark. I redid her fur, I re-did the trees and blurred and basically fixed up the whole page!

The Moving Rock

"all of a sudden the rock Canon was sitting on started moving and walking away from the river"

More illustrations!!!

So after doing this illustration, im thinking about making the first text page more organic. Here is my second text page along with the next page of illustration!!!!

Text Page and Illustration

I plan on getting my book printed by a website ( www.blurb.com/book/pricing ) --> It will be a Standard Landscape and the sizes I have to work with will be pages that are 10 x 8 inches. Here is the first 2 sets of pages with text and imagery.

An artist work is never complete

So i re-did the picture once again, but this should be the final picture! Her fur is now a carpet texture! The dirt texture is moss, I like the muddy feel of the dirt leading to the river!

This is the final after being photoshoped! I added some shadows and i blured some of the back so that your eye gets drawn to Canon! Enjoy!
