Hansel & Gretel Backgrounds

I always find layouts and backgrounds challenging because I don't work on them enough in my life time.

Hansel & Gretel Line Up

Hansel and Gretel sketches

Another project of uncertain future though things are moving along for my client, Pixeries Studio. These are idea developments done for a funding pitch the studio needed last year. Haven't received much updates from the studio for a while now though I have received word that they are already working on the animation needed for their animated picture books, but by another animation studio (Bizarro in fact,my earlier mentioned other client). To Aurelia ([link]) and , thank you so very much for entertaining all of my letters to participating on this project though it seems that I won't be working on it again anytime soon unless Pixeries gives me another heads up after they're done with their current skids with Bizarro. We'll see.

I'm feeling like a hired mercenary right now.

But enough rambling. Hope you'll enjoy the next few series of Hansel and Gretel (what could've been or possible back in the focus) works, folks.

I always find works on backgrounds and layouts challenging.
