Unfinished sketch

Shepherd Boy...

.... finds a ruby. Looks at it for a while,throws it away and goes about his work....

A few Good Words!

Thanks to Scholastic for sending these to me. Sure feels much better than the paycheck! Though not sure if ".... executed with childlike sense of humour" means a good thing! : )

Concept sketches

These are some of the concept sketches that I did for an animation film project.

Face

Smile

This is a work in progress.... right now just trying to get the mood right!

Cover for Numbers...

Cover options for the numbers book; I prefer the blue one.

Speedpainting+Caricature!

Someone needed a quick caricature... and I needed to see if I can still make funny faces!

Halfbook fun!

These are for a children's book where each page has a character doing something. But the pages will be cut from the middle to make lots of mismatched funny characters until kids finally find the actual character. 10 characters will have some 90 funny combinations; and though it looks simple, it was actually quite a task doing these!
Hope kids enjoy the book!

Fireman as a baby!!

Fireman as baby and any such nonsense are just bluffs; this is general timepass in Flash and Photoshop!

Breaking a hiatus!

This is a draft illustration for a children's book originally done for Penguin publishers. Penguin rejected this as the writer feels it to be too gothic for a children's book. Point taken and discarded immediately..... not doing anything for Penguin ever..... they need many more years to think out of the box! And personally I feel writers should stick to writing; or I do have a feeling upon reading the book that it's not so child like as the writer thinks it to be! But I would refrain from making such stupid comments... I would stick to art.
