Oh, and just to give everyone an idea what this children's book is based on, here's a link to the Song of Percy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuyMy3xHeMY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuyMy3xHeMY)

The song was also written by Patsy Trigg who also took part in the original version of Grandma Got Ran Over By a Reindeer (she performed with her ex husband at the time). She also wrote the original children's book based on Percy. But she has personally commissioned me to do a kiddie comic book based upon the same story and song. The picture above should give you an idea of the style I'm going for (I know, the background scenery could be better.. but this was kind of rushed to be a simple teaser)

Let me know what you guys think. Your all the first to ever see this material publicly =)

And before I cut this short, Here's Patsy herself performing the song with a hand puppet =P

Great picture.  I enjoy it.  You are a natural for juvenile artwork and other things in that sort of style.

I think it'll work just fine for the intended audience. :)  You don't need to go in depth to please young kids.

Hello:
 It is awesome you will be in charge of that comic, keep it up!
 the style looks good for me, and don't worry about the background, it is very good for your teaser (as teasers never show the full thing).
