Story book project : Finding Bunnie

Our group met up on the sunday before the tutorial session to discuss. Our group have decide to used the general story line that I thought of but with additionall tweaks here and there. Since it is a chidlern book so I try to introduce something for the childern to think over.

My intial idea of the story was to have a boy discover a robot in the store room or somewhere else, and have him travel around places while looking for his heart. After some traveling with the boy and some friends the robot develop emotions but was unaware of it and the boy sort of died due to some accident and the robot cries, feeling that something was pounding inside him he found that he found his heart through the emtions developed througout the journey. But well the others think that the story line is good but people dying in childern sotry book is not so good so some tweak here and there to modify the story and character a bit.

After we met up and had a few hours of discussion we modified the story a bit using the robot that i initially thought of and the rabbit Baihe designed is robot's friend. Since we came up with names for the robot and rabbit. The name is easy to relate to each of the character so it is easier for childerns to remember them. So the robot is called Robbie and the rabbit is called Bunnie.

The setting of the story is that Robbie and Bunnie are friends and one day Robbie realised that there was a heart on Bunnie and he asked Bunnie where to get one. The Bunnie suggested to Robbie to go to the hospital to have a look. After coming back from the hospital Robbie is found out that Bunnie is missing so he felt worried and went around searching for Bunnie. There are flips up in the next 4 pages for Robbie searching Bunnie and under the flip ups the Childern can discover different things there. More of giving some interactiveness and fun to the childern reading the book rather than just plaining reading it. Later after some searching Robbie manage to meet Bunnie outside the hospital waiting for Robbie. Robbie developed feelings that allows him to acquire a heart which is inside him. And happily ever after.

The following picture are the sketches for the characters in different pages and also a rough design of Robbie that I showed my group mate before I started sketching.
The following pictures are the sketches of the characters at different pages. I used the story board drawn by Shao Chong as a reference to position and draw the characters.
