Ella the Gorilla is Coming Out Soon

I have been working on the art of Ella the Gorilla for a while, and I finished it last month.

Now the authors, Rama Alshareef and Mawya Alfadda, have received the ISBN number and everything is in order, so we'll be able to send Ella's story blasting off into the world very shortly.

The book's lovely text comes with 16 unique illustrations that I'm really proud of.

Future posts will cover the visual development process of characters, environments and art in more detail. For now, I'll leave you with the time-lapse process video behind the "sweet home" scene. Enjoy!
