A second placemat for restaurant Witloof.

Spring is in the air.
In my very first post I told you about this new restaurant in Maastricht. This thing is going crazy. We're actualy thinking about a real story now. Nothing to work with for the moment but the restaurant is doing great and they want to print a new placemat with a new drawing. The idea is to do a "first day of spring-moment" at the table with the characters we have. Here's the first big sketch. I build a stage and than placed the characters. One thing I was sure of. I wanted a good view on top of the table. To show all the food, drinks and other props. That are not there yet. Gonna be fun doing the details.



Meanwhile back at the studio.
Here's the new version with details.



It's finished!!!!!
Hope we can find a nice red.
To be contnued in placemat nr 3.

What a great way to 'investigate' the characters and being payed for it too!
