Upcoming Book: Water Worlds
A close cousin of the seahorse, sea elephants live in shallows and feed on algae growing on rocks. They grip onto kelp with their trunks to keep from being washed out to sea on the tide.
The above image is a progressional pic I did from our upcoming book - Water Worlds. Due out end of May 2008.
After that our next book is featuring Imaginism's newest artist "Caricature - The Art of Jason Seiler" coming late June 2008.

This is really beautiful Bobby. I love the color and texture that you've used here and in all of your characters. Do you work in Photoshop or some other program? Do you use a wacom tablet from the start, or do you scan in a pencil drawing? The results are just fabulous. . . Keep up the good work!
Very nicely done! I like the texturing and little polka dots! You come up with the funniest combinations for creatures!
bubs - Thanks for the note. this was done in PS using a Cintiq. Started off as a pen doodle in my sketchbook.
shawn - Polka dots can be addictive :)
Lovely! If I was going to be washed out to sea on the tide I would look scared the same ;-)
Thanks for sharing the process, it's always very interesting to see how you work.
Really nice, Bobby!
Love the fat seahorse design!!
woohoo! another book for my collection soon! :-) Looking fabs as always, Bobby.
All the best.
Cheers,
Charles
thx for the nice comments Koldo, Mark, Alina and Charles!
Did you change you mind at stage 7 of that WIP or was that the plan from the start? I can understand it up to stage 7 then I'm confused.
Thanks for the question Matt. It was a conscious decision. I tend to build from dark to light.
Awesome Sketch Bobby, looking forward for the new books, sea creatures are one of my favorite subjects. You're gonna display art in the labyrinth like last time right?
And by the way I e-mailed you about this before but got no answer; Are you ever gonna release a hardcover version of your books? perhaps one big colelctors edition or something?
-Ahmad
Ahmad - no art show at the Labyrinth this time. We're premiering it in Philly.
The hardcover version is a possibility. More discussion is needed and it's something we want to do but I can't say for sure at this time. We have been talking to publishers about it though.
Very cool ! Anything to do with water and sea creatures and I'm there .
Looking forward to seeing the book .
Cheers .
