We got an email back today from George(Active Planet Kids), and he gave us some feedback on our drafts for the bobble head characters. I got a lot of feedback on my illustration of Kartick Satyanarayan, which I have started changing. One of the main things george wants is it to include other illustration in order to give the bobble head some context and people can make connections to Kartick. I have been working on an illustration on of an elephant and fining a way to combine the two. I plan to try other different poses of the elephant than just a side view, because after looking at it I feel Like it would be too wide of an illustration. I definitely want to try and illustration with the elephant facing forward. I added tears in the elephants eye which is reference from Raju the elephant, who Kartick helped rescue after being chained up and abused for 50 years. Another changed I made based on Georges Feedback was the hair. I added some more curls towards the front of forehead. I also tried adding a logo of the wildlife SOS organization on his shirt, but it’s kind of challenge due to the size of the bobble head. This logo would only work if the bobble head would be blown up in size. One thing I need to work on is his arms, which need to look a little more animated.

George the client that requires the bubble head of important people for his children book finally received our first drafts and he replay to us with the following comments:

“Nelson Mandela Hair needs to be grey South African Flag (object of association) on a lapel pin (or color swaths behind him) Right hand (now waving) should be a fist (maybe bigger, more accented) Look at the eyes a bit more, should they be narrower? * Keep in mind that one of the biggest character traits of Nelson was his big smile and the warmth and comfort that came from him – very grandfatherly.

Rodney Mullens Looks great – nice association with skateboard.

Kartick If you look at his pictures his hair curls on his left side, a little further in on his forehead.He needs to have an elephant association with him. Check out Google images of Raju, the elephant that he helped rescue and that cried. The elephant should be next to him, behind him, her trunk can be resting on his head, but Raju should have a tear in her eye so people know who she is as well. That is what people associate with her – we want to give people hints at who these people are…

I was in change of developing the illustration of Rodney Mullens, and did my best to represent him as the real person as possible. Today also discuss about a meeting this upcoming Saturday to clarify Sam’s websites direction, for the design and feel of a logo that appeal to all audiences.
