DOGHEAD!





Here's some character illustration work I produced for Jill Marshal's children's book, Doghead, published by Macmillan in the UK. It's about a boy who is bitten by a stray dog in a graveyard and discovers he is destined to become Anubis, Egyptian god of the dead: half-human, half-jackal!
The top one is the artwork they used on the cover and the two pieces below are the rough character development work and potential poses for the cover.

Hey Chris, when is the book due out? I'd love to get my filthy paws on one. The character designs look brilliant.

Hi Ben, the book is already out I think. I only did the character poses for the cover unfortunately, so the insides are purely words. But I do believe the inside words are a ripping good yarn!
I just picked up your Ouroboros comic book the other day while I was in Leeds. It's awesome! Great work.
