Assignment 1- Concept design

Hi!
The following sketches are my entries into our Concept assignment. Please excuse the bad paint job, I'm still new to digital painting.

This idea comes from a short story in my mind that never truly came into fruition. I'd try and try to write it down, but I'm never happy. Anyway, the main character is a castaway on an island, everything seems peaceful until they realize it's the home to a giant troll. They avoid the troll as much as they can, both parties observing each other to see how they react. The main eventually figures out the troll means no harm. I still haven't settled on whether or not they leave the island.

This one, however, I'm completely in love with. It's a little girl named Laura going around her neighborhood pretending to be a thief. Her persona (the full body illustration) lives in a frozen, post-apocalyptic wasteland with her mount, a giant Saint Bernard (unoriginally named Bernard) and goes around looting just to survive. It's this persona she takes on while she steals from the neighborhood. Her crimes are small, nicking cookies or toys, but, she has a heart. There's a bedridden kid in the neighborhood. She steals to keep him happy. He is always willing to listen to her ventures into the wasteland as they share her haul.

Not much to this one. It's a river otter having trouble opening an oyster, and goes through several methods Chuck Jones style.

This poor spaceman has to be the unluckiest of them all. A meteor hit his spaceship and now he's stranded on some planet with a semi-intelligent alien with a language barrier. Try as he might, he's never going to get through this guy's thick skull.

I thought those 'stars' would look better, but apparently not. Anyway, this last one is a lost little dragon all alone in the wide world. With no place to call home and his family missing, he wanders the  arid savannah he calls home in search of his brood.

Guess that's it. See you all Tuesday. :D
