Thumbnailing

Quick sketch / comps - didn't like this sideways layout since it made things feel too stressful like he was going to drive right off the edge, it felt too passive

This felt much better, more like an art print and less like a still from an animation

Populating all the content of assorted jibberish

A better sketch to get some value

Note taking and revision ideas (printed out a black and white copy and marked my edits / notes)

Starting to block in shapes

And even a color palette

Character's coming along here, though i was struggling a lot with the hands and general calmness of it all

Dropping the hands down to the side really helped bring a stillness to the whole vibe I think, finally

Quick style test for the final rendering style (to be screen printed)
