A logo/title for the series. I'm pleased I went with this name as it does work as a place name, it sounds fun and exciting, nature-based and it looks great written down - lots of ascending letters and fits nicely with thistle underneath. Only worry is that children struggle with this 'th' phoneme. Test on children, see if they can remember the name of the place and if they can actually say it!
Having a consistent branding like this across all the products I create will tie it all together as a series. Although I'm no expert on branding/graphic design (this might be terrible) it is something that will bring all the material together and stamp it as coming from this one world.
Started to colour some of the characters I've been drawing in my sketchbook. I've not drawn for a while and I know I often overlook it/avoid it in briefs in favour of MAKING but I have had fun drawing these characters and I definitely have spent longer figuring out who these characters are than I usually do.
I like the big, round shape of the bodies - think this cold be a distinctive 'characteristic' of the Thistle-folk that makes them distinctly recognisable.
The 2D illustrations could be applied really easily to products like clothing, lunchboxes, wellies (specifically outdoor/exploring products for children... backpacks?) so I intend to keep drawing and have the drawing/3D models work alongside each other as part of the world.
