Jen

Jen's ability to render character appearance and behavior as defined by the statements and questions of one of the two central characters has encouraged me to define more and more complex situational dynamics, thereby further enriching the development of the story and the depth and diversity of the humor.

Jen reviewed twenty-six thematic expressions of the characters and, at my invitation, selected three with which to make a first pass at bringing the one-panel comic strip to life. She captured the personalities and circumstances of the two principal (and only) characters perfectly.

Again, Jen has captured the spirit of and evolving relationship between the characters. In one panel, I requested rendering the scene in moonlight. The result is outstanding. The illustrations help to inform my sense of where I want to take the story of the two (and only) characters in the cartoon strip.

Final images from "Jenhappiness" are exactly as I had described in our second round of messaging as the three panels were in development. Jen grasps the dry wit and use of irony in the situational dynamics, as reflected in the captions to the pieces. Outstanding artistry!

Jen was quick to respond, easy to work with, and handled feedback well. She delivered the character sheet and early sketches on time and was clear about files and formats throughout. The project went in a different direction for reasons that had nothing to do with her professionalism. I'd recommend her for clean, simple line art.
