To me it looks like the poor frog is about to slide off her head and fall into the water.

He's not sliding of =) though he's striving to stay ontop =D

I loooove the start on this one.. as mentioned, the looks are priceless, not too much, just enough, will be interesting to see this one finished.. the only thing htat bothers me is her left eye (our right) it's pulled out too far to the edge and up compared to the other one.. should be easy to fix

... Nice idea

*edit*
having looked at it again, i also think the lips are a bit too large...

*end edit*

LOL... great... love the look on their faces... It actually like there's some strange interplay between them... Which is really nice.

I don't quite like the look on the girls face. Too standard cutie. Too bland. But, then again I love the look in her eyes(That calm, wonderous, and somewhat baffled look).
I think it would be great if you could translate that look into her whole face(Hope I'm not just bebbling here. it's always hard to talle when I'm writing in english).

The frog is perfect. He's looking very, very satisfied with himself.... ("Oooh...gribbit... look what I caught myself!")... extremely cool.

Other than that, it's hard to say anything, since the rest is so vague. But your off to an excellent start.

I'm greatly looking forward to seeing the picture finished.

Thanks Basse_Ex for your comments. She's very sketchy at the moment. So nothing is final yet but I'll consider your comments.

i love how it is going great work

Ah, now I see.

nice work so far. The lady of the lake and her frog prince... me thinks there be a story in the making...

I like to do smal self development programs in order to become a better artist with specific goals in minde to achive like lighting, style, consepts and ideas...
And the subject just popped up. It's very rough at the moment but I will try to achive a specific light condition where she's in a tropical (jungel) lake. There shouldn't be anny artificial lights... maybe some white reflectors to easy up the shadowed areas but then again, maybe not... I'll try to just use the natural light coming from the sky and to add minut detail in the skin and hair and frog. Tropical frogs are very beautifull and rich in colors. Also to render skin, hair and whater are difficult so this little project will be a good practice.

Is the girl for a colorized version of your V05 storyboard? Nice work, btw

Jelo · Posted: Thu Apr 25, 2002 1:10 pm

No she's not for the VO5 storyboard. I did that storyboard over 5 years ago. Actualy my first storyboard.(for you who wonder what we'r talkin about, take a look at my portfolio you will find a link under my signature.)
I guess one just have a tendency to draw serten types of faces.

I see...how long have you been doing storyboard work professional if you don;t mind me asking (my ability to read german<?> isn't all to good

)?

zaar · Posted: Sat Apr 27, 2002 3:14 am

Jelo: nice work! I like the stuff on your homepage as well.

lowlight: German?! I can see how the languages might seem similar, but in Jelo's posts its says "From: Sweden"... the language on his page is Swedish

Jelo · Posted: Sat Apr 27, 2002 8:05 am

lowlight: I've been doing alot of thing besides storyboarding so I haven't been persuing it actively during all these years but my first storyboard is roughly 5 yers old.

zaar: tnx! =D

zaar · Posted: Sat Apr 27, 2002 8:35 am

I recognize some of the 3d stuff on your homepage. The crocodile seems very familiar. Are you employed at rithuset or filmtecknarna?

Looking good

Hey Jelo, you live just a bussride with the 113 away from me hehe, passing threough there pretty often

Where do you work now?

Basse_Ex · Posted: Wed May 01, 2002 8:12 am

Looking very good...

The expression on the girl is great with that slight cross-eyed look.

My only complaint is that the frog is starting to loook slightly evil.
