Illustration I, First semester, final project

Our Final project from Illustration I last semester was to make character designs and a book cover based on REALLY vague descriptions such as "Bear, he's friendly". These are the designs I came up with:
And the bookcover:
I was really pressed for time so the book cover isn't done really, but I like it. Anyway, in class one of the guys said that the eyes made the animals scary. One of the girls disagreed and said they were cute. Overall the response was good and I'm happy with it.

All for now. Love and coffee,
