Eli & Amos Storyboards

Here's something new! And by "new" I really mean "different," since it's not a sketch or illustration and I did it a few months ago. For your viewing pleasure I present two sets of storyboards. Both sets feature the adventures (both real and imaginary) of Eli and Amos; the first is entitled "Cowlick," and the second, "Undersea Search." I always have fun working on storyboards, because as challenging as it is, and despite the fact that it's work most people will never see, it's surprisingly rewarding. As an aside, the second set is sort of a prologue story, an imagining of what leads up to the scene depicted in this illustration.
