Momotaro Sketches

For my narrative illustration class we're illustrating the Japanese tale Momotaro. It's about a boy who goes off to defeat some evil ogres who have been terrorizing his village. Along the way he is joined by a spotted dog, a monkey, and a pheasant. These are some character designs that I did for Momotaro, his companions, and the ogres.

Also, here's a really quick color comp I did of an illustration I have in mind for another assignment, 'Imagined Worlds'. It's an odd size --11x28-- but it's also fun because it's pretty cinematic. When these illustrations are finished, they'll be going inside the Centro buses that drive around Syracuse.
