Our storybook project is about Roddy a toy robot who is unable to be sold. The scenes take place in a toy shop. Roddy then decides to make himself more appealing to customers by accumulating various objects and gadgets from other toys like a diva doll, a warrior doll, a baby, a skateboard doll to make himself look prettier, stronger, cuter and cooler.
However, after collecting the objects from the other toys, he looks quite horrifying and scares off a little girl who enters the shop.
Roddy then tries to run away but the skateboard that he is on goes out of control and he crashes into the shelf, all his objects flying in haphazard directions. Just then, a little boy enters the store and points at Roddy, saying he wants to buy that robot.
Roddy then realizes that he does not need extra objects to make himself look better, but just to be himself and love himself.
A sweet story that teaches children not to be superficial and appreciate themselves for who they are. (:
Illustrations were drawn and colored using Adobe Illustrator. It was a tedious process and very rushed as we only had about 2 weeks. But thank goodness we managed to draw everything and get it printed on time. It was do or die :P
Our book was printed on hardcover as we felt that it would look more presentable. Also, hardcover is of better quality and the paper for the pages in the book were thicker compared to if we had just printed all paper, according to what the print shop offered.
And we're very happy with our storybook! :)
Here are some examples of our scenes:
