Drago's the whole reason I conceived this book, after watching Extinct Pink. He's styled sort of like the dinosaurs in that cartoon, not completely. All of the characters have a slightly different style. Drago looks innocent and has a rougher colouring with more texture. It's all to make him seem more innocent.

Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Cover	SunshineForest - #01 Hey folks, welcome to this little project. I don't normally talk about thought processes and inspirations in the comments box, but I think it's a worthwhile endeavor here. Think of it as an audio commentary, except with text.	7/16/09
Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 1	SunshineForest - #02 submitID 17300 I've framed each page in this way to compliment the art style. It's not completely flat, yet I wanted something very simple and minimal. I didn't want to detract from the picture or text with the frame.	7/16/09
Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 2	SunshineForest - #03 I chose Bushie as the main character for this particular book. It's a choice I made because he is the friendliest enemy encounter in the Sunshine Forest and I felt people who have not played the series could easily identify with him.	7/16/09
Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 3	SunshineForest - #04 With the other characters here I should talk about the artstyle. This was chosen as a combination of factors. I found it appealing, and I also figured it would set it apart stylistically from a lot of the other offerings. You'll notice that only the main characters or those that interact with Bushie are coloured in. This is a focal conceit.	7/16/09
Elobo	Sunshine In the Forest Page 4	SunshineForest - #05 The Ramblin' Mushroom here does not factor into the story, so he has not been brought to full attention. This technique also lets me populate the Forest with other creatures without stuffing them down someone's throat. It shows that other stories are unfolding all around this one, and a kid can extrapolate the stories themselves. I think this benefits a story that otherwise directs you from beginning to end.	7/16/09
