artbook collab

I started this artbook project with a bunch of friends online as a way to not only promote my work but their work in the process, the purpose was to create a character and all draw the character in our own styles. We started first developing a character, discussing how the character would look like and what they would be wearing which also sparked the idea of this artbook being a seasonal theme book where we explore the world of the character throughout the seasons.

Since this project is still developing, I've decided that the team and I are not to show any of the sketches or concepts we made until we have finished the book and the only way to promote this book is to publicise it through preview posts on all our accounts, once we have an audience which is likely going to happen quickly since most of us in the team have big social presence, boosting our chances hopefully.

So far we have started on the winter seasonal book, and we have created a character that lives in japan exploring her daily teenage life, we have made some character designs to suit the theme and how we want the character to look like. Everything throughout the project is done by all of us, even if I started the project, we all worked together to create her.

To explain our process someone developed a simple base of the character with a bunch of clothes, hairstyles and accessories, then I mashed the base with the things I liked and made a mock up of what I wanted. Someone from the team then took the mock up and made a lineart of the final design which another teammate and I coloured, from this we all started to create simple sketches and concepts of the character going about her day. I hope we can finish the winter season artbook as soon as possible so we could move on to spring edition.

unfortunately, we did not manage to complete the winter 2016 artbook, but not at all lost interest in creating the artbook, we have decided to combine spring and summer into an artbook and hopefully get a lot done for it.

we are all just trying to finish our studies and hopefully, continue with this project throughout the end of spring and start of summer.
