Here's another sketch page for one of the main characters. He's the type of guy that very much enjoys blaming all of his problems on his childhood. Luckily' that gives us a chance to catch glimpses of his childhood antics through flashback.. </div>

I'll still need to work out his facial design, right now it's a bit generic looking. Check one of the previous images for a closer approximation.</div>

Hello'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm still..slowly moving forward finalizing the designs for the main characters. This page of sketches are of <span style="color: #073763;">Mo</span>, one of my favorite characters in Fading Oasis. I think with one more pass I'll be able to nail down his costume and facial structure. </div>

Also this past week I saw Brave and was lucky enough to attend a <a href="http://www.gallerynucleus.com/event/357">Brave Panel at Nucleus</a>!
Both the artist panel and movie were very fun and inspirational. Leave
it up to Pixar, Disney and Dreamworks visual development artists to
light a fire of inspiration . . </div>

These ladies are adventurers and romantics. They love their friendships, helping others and all things soft. <br />
<br />
In terms of design I like the contrast between the characters but, I'll be tweaking the costumes a bit more before they are finalized. <br />

Hello' <br />
<br />
These sketches are a rough pass at finalizing the four main characters of Fading Oasis. The archetypes are going the right direction but, I think I should slightly caricature the differences between them all just a bit more. Also, I'm still not happy with their costumes so hopefully I'll be able to deal with that in the next pass.<br />

<br />
This is May and her Lodge. She inherited the lodge from her Grandpa who built it when her parent's were just kids. The estate boasts three guest rooms, a restaurant, bar and lounge(All which still need concepted). I've been thinking about my <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Art-Kikis-Delivery-Service-Miyazaki/dp/1421505932">Kiki's Delivery Service</a> artbook and I just can't get over how amazing Miyazaki's loose layout drawings are. I could use some of that brilliance as I flush out the lodge.. "C'est la vie"<br />

I'm just trying to get a rough first pass for everything in the book..</span></div><br />
