In this illustration I wanted to see him generally walking near or on the shore exploring. In the story boarding process I made three versions of the page but I went with him walking underwater on the shore so that it flowed into the next page easier. When making this page I had to work out how to illustrate two new things - the underside of the surface of the sea and sand. For the underside of the sea I used the vine pattern I usually draw but with the lines further apart which worked and for the sand I used the technique I used in Larus Island with dots and to show perspective I made the dots get closer and closer together as you go further into the distance.

For this page I wanted to show the ghost explorer reclining in his home on the bottom of the sea. I found getting the right positioning to show him reclining really difficult because he is a silhouette but I was able to use his aura to define his parts.

But once I made this page I was told it wasn't obvious of what it was so I redrew the entire illustration again with him laying flat on the rock instead of on an angle.

Also I was told that I needed to define what was deep sea and what was rock so I made a pattern which looked like sedimentary rock.

The Quadruple (Part 1)

For this group of illustrations I wanted to have foldout pages in the book and lay the images out like the illustrations in 'We're Going On A Bear Hunt' long and thin across four pages. In the four illustrations I wanted to show some of the explorations the ghost explorer that would also tie him in with other 'tails' I had written.
Like him visiting Cancinos in the centre of the earth.

And seeing The Chimera from the Tail of the Edward Magpie and his crew of Thee Stultifera Navis from my second year contextual module.   

But I also wanted to show him in places that I want to write about in the future, like him exploring the great under water mountain range. Also, like all my work I wanted to have a bit of parody in there as well so I illustrated him walking on water like in the iconic image of Jesus. 

Once I made the image I realised I could make them like a wall of achievements of the ghost explorer so I designed frames for each image. 

Then I laid them out on an A2 sheet ready to be printed. 

Though once I took them down to the printers they informed me that they couldn't print A2 double sided which I needed because I needed other pages from the book printed on the back, so I changed the layout of the sheets so that they could be printed on A3 which could be printed double sided.

I wanted for this page that once the mortal version of the ghost explorer dies and becomes the ghost explorer he becomes more, like a superhero with the pose of a strong hero like Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man.
I also wanted to show that he has sunk deeper down in the sea from the last page so I made the lines uniformly close which I think communicates this.
