The World Jumper



Did this early on yesterday. Really happy with it, it's the first draft with colour. I might apply more layers of detail and colours, but I'm liking the simpleness and the quirky energy in the image.

It's inspired by the Studio Ghibli animations, I wanted to capture their comic style and dreaminess. I've been thinking about adapting it into an illustrated book called 'The World Jumper'.




Above the character there's a small floating civilisation (he appears to have just crashed through), if you look closely you can see tiny trees, mountains and buildings etc. I kept the lines quite simple and 'comicy', so hopefully this translates well.

I didn't feel well last night and out of the blue started being sick. Went to bed early around 9pm, so further creativity was hindered. Today I woke up at 6am! Feeling better now, enjoying an early Verhoevenathon (Starship Troopers, Total Recall and Robocop marathon). Might get some more drawing done later.
