these are my first attempts at developing a character that will represent greed. at first i thought of a dollar sign but my boyfriend pointed out to me that people might think i mean that money is bad. which i don’t, i just think cheating people to make money is bad. also a dollar sign could simply represent the economy.

instead i’m heading towards a character with dollar signs for eyes. i kind of wanted to draw him chubby but since being greedy implies not spending much money i’m thinking skinny might be the way to go. at the same time most rich greedy people seem to be eating a lot… anyway, we’ll see. so far i like the one in the bottom right corner, but he might be a little too cute.

we’ve started working on our upcoming e-book last night. we have about 4 pages of bullet points of what we want to say and determined 4 different sections. we already have a few different ideas for the drawings. the greed character will be part of the book, not surprisingly. we already established a working method, we both sit down and come up with ideas for both the writing and drawings together. then he will take care of the writing and me the drawing, consulting each other’s opinions on each other’s work. we agreed i should not be doodling while trying to come up with writing ideas for team spirit purposes.
