The new personal project I've been working on is the visual development of the children's book The Giving Tree. This book means a lot to me, as it does to a lot of other people i'm sure, and I hope to do it justice by designing it to be an animated movie. I'll be posting more progress as I delve into character designs and mood paintings in the next few weeks. Trying to get this project done by the time CTNX rolls around so I have a nice portfolio to get critiqued! He are some Tree silhouettes as I try to establish the shape and personality of the tree. I'm currently leaning toward the bottom left option because to me it has the kind of gracious and inviting personality that I think The Giving Tree should have. The lopsidedness gives it the impression that it has a hand out and is reaching out to help you. We'll see as I flesh out the character more. Oh also, I guess the tree is supposed to be a girl according the book so.... I guess I'll start referring to it as "she."
