Before I got the idea for this graphic novel, Ebony started out as a character design for a possible animated short. Here's some of the design which may actually make it to the book...
Excellent work! I love your sleek character design and color palette. These are really fun to view. Great job!
I found your work through Sketchbook All-Stars (I was recently invited to join). I thought I'd drop by and give some well deserved props to a fellow "All-Star".
A 15 year veteran of the licensing and entertainment industry, Lawrence has worked on everything from Lord Of The Rings™ to M&M’s.
After attending The School Of Visual Arts in New York, Lawrence was hired as head toy designer for Happiness Express Inc. While there he had the opportunity to design everything from night lights to action figures. Working for a small company also meant wearing many hats. Lawrence gained valuable experience in package design, sculpture and styleguide creation. After 5 years in the toy industry he moved on to a career in character illustration, creating styleguide art for Newline Cinema, Jim Henson Productions, and 4Kids Entertainment to name a few. Among other things he is now one of the official licensing artists for Teen Age Mutant Ninja Turtles, Major League Baseball and Nickelodeon’s Go Diego. Not content to just draw the characters, Lawrence has also made the leap to digital animation. To date he has worked on films for the web and broadcast television for companies like ABC Networks, Nickelodeon, and VH1.
Lawrence currently resides in Queens, New York where he plots to corrupt the minds of youth with silly pictures and funny books.
