Hello everyone! Can you believe that this Friday is when the final chapter of Galactic Hot Dogs: Book Two comes out? It's pretty frapping unbelievable to me! I feel like we just kicked it off. Man oh man, time flies when you're reading a rad book.
Well, I've got some way-cool stuff to show you today -- never-seen, super-awesome, behind-the-scenes art from Book Two!
When the illustrators, Rachel and Nichole, work on the art for the book, they don't draw a scene, just like that. Like if they're drawing a scene with a new character in it, first they do a whole lot of work to decide exactly what someone's outfit will look like. Check this stuff out:
 |
| Different outfits for my dad and mom. |
 |
| Different ideas for the rocky arena where me and mutated Humphree battled. |
 |
| All sorts of clown bots! |
 |
| Here the illustrator is figuring out how to tatter up our clown disguises for later chapters. |
 |
| This is the illustrator's different drawings of mutated Humphree. She was trying to figure out exactly how to portray his horribleness! |
It's pretty amazing to see how much work goes into the illustrations. So much time and effort goes into every character and every page!
If you're behind on Galactic Hot Dogs: Book Two, never fear! You can catch up on everything here. Be sure to come back here on Friday to read about the very last chapter -- and I'll tell you all about the cool stuff coming up on the blog this summer!
Stay awesome,
Cosmoe
