Tad and the Jaguar Trial - Storybook mockup

 I tried the story book route with this "what if story" of Tad becoming a jaguar,  this format was inspired by the Tad story book “Tadeo Jones 3. El libro de la pelĂ­cula: La tabla esmeralda”.  all the images are done in Clip Studio paint then I transfer it over to Inkscape in order to set up the font and put everything together.






The Adventures of Kellan & Thabisa - Cliff Diver

5 panel board challenge

This was an exercise from a storyboard Discord. We had a choice of making a five-panel storyboard from a single photo to tell a story. I chose the kangaroo boxing.

Walk like a Jaguar / Storyboards

 

This was a part of the Jaguar Tad story.

I was thinking of what I would have Ramona do in this adventure and I think the most logical thing would be her being Tad's support And also helping Ted grow with custom to his Jaguar form considering that she is Egyptian and they know a lot about cats.

So this board is her teaching them how to walk on all fours but of course it ended in a fail for Tad.
