These are a few designs for the Bigfoot character in the 8 page comic I'm working on for the PARABLE anthology I mentioned in my last post. The story is called "Mamaw and Bigfoot" and it's a short story told in rhyme about a little Southern boy that walks to his Mamaw's house to see her and an unexpected visitor knocks at the door. The title kinda tells you who it is, but there's a nice point to the story about how the Grandma excepts this strange visitor that the boy just sees as scary and different. So, above are some designs for Bigfoot that I did with the last one having a strong influence by Rob. The Mamaw design and boy design are Rob's in kinda a simple "children's book" style. I really liked that, so that's what I was trying for in the Bigfoots I did. I ended up grabbing elements from some of the rough ones (noses, feet, hunch backs) and coming up with a goofy looking version that I thought was close enough to jump onto the final boards with. That's all for now, I'll show a couple pages in development soon.

The bigfoots look awesome. I really like the sketch with the little kid. I also want to thank you for the book "Creating Characters with Personality". I just got it yesterday and I'm hooked. I can't wait to start working on the assignments. I already have ideas for Dillon running through my head. Ill probably post them on my blog. Maybe you can check out my blog sometime. Thanks Again.

Cool! Really like the design to Big Foot! The style for the kid really works well with the Big Foot look. Can’t wait to see how this works out in the story.

Tom-
I got your book too. I think it is mousy and feels like suade. Could be a Keanian influence of yours- I don't know. Oh yeah, quite copying your brother with this Bigfoot thing!
