Concept : Cover art

It's been some busy weeks for me, I wasn't able to just sit down and draw at all. Long gone the free hours during my night shift. Things just wouldn't stop popping up at work(and was even engulfed in a life threatening scenario as well! Don't worry, I wasn't hurt in that event) and constantly require my attention as an employee. Day shift is even more hectic, and the sad thing is that, it's not going to get any better. -_-
That aside, I am just happy that I was able to get back in touch with my publisher. The concept drawings of family which I did earlier this year is still valid(I am surprised!), and there are still things needed to be worked. They stressed on the blacklines of the cover page, and they gave me the general idea of how the author wanted it, so here's my take on it.

I am not sure if they will accept it so we'll see.
Thank you all so much for your comments. I really appreciate all of them and your time. I will try my best to spend more time drawing. My moleskine is once again being ignored due to other more significant responsibilities....sigh.

Concept : Family

More concept lines, but these are for separate stories and separate authors. I am just throwing ideas out there and waiting for their feedback.
It's hard trying not to get too 'deep' into them as I knew that they are still just within concept sketching phase, but I sometimes do forget and I just had to stop myself.
Thank you so much for all your feedback and comments on my previous post. I really do appreciate the encouragement and the warm welcome from everyone of you. It's almost like coming back to a cozy home after a long travel. You guys are all AWESOME! ^^

Concept Lines

I know that I said I'd be posting more, but like I said... I get distracted very easily sometimes =)
Holiday's been great, work has been okay and it was my first week getting into shift last week.
So I tried getting back in touch with my publisher to see if my pencils are still needed for the previous projects I took on, and they said yes.
I just thought I'd like to share some of the few lines I did for the passed couple of days for the project. It's a story about grandparents' relationships with their grandchildren. And they are still in the very rough phase, just to let the author see and get the feel of what's coming. If she likes it, then I will refine them and add colors. ^^
Thank you all for your comments and it's really great being back drawing again.
