The Cat Came Back

Hm, haven’t documented anything new (am currently working feverishly on something at the moment, which I hope to finish by today/tomorrow — so I’ll post it soon) but I did find some stuff from my last year of college that I forgot to add to the website.

It’s from a project we had to do for Children’s Book/Story Character Design. I chose to do a story based on the poem/song The Cat Came Back, which used to be my favourite poem/song when I was a kid (it had cats and people died = instant childhood favourite?).

The characters I designed were The Old Man who tried to get rid of the cat, and the cat himself. Then I had to do a page spread, where I chose the bit where the cat drowns a boy.

Man, even when I do stuff with my cutesy style, it is morbid. The stuff I’ll show you next will be happier. I promise. Also, wish me luck!

    Fantastic work Jacky – loving your style at the moment! Keep it up :)

    The yellow cat is definitely my favourite.
