    paper Big God Project

    I created the illustrations for a curriculum that spanned a 3-year scope and sequence. I created over 150 lesson-specific colouring sheets, activity sheets/instructional illustrations, over 1500 individual illustrations used in storytelling animations. This project necessitated working closely with the project writers to properly understand their needs, motives, and intentions in each story, along with research into different cultural attire and customs, historical ethnicities, archaeological discoveries, and creating over 3000 individual characters - many of whom would age and change as their stories progressed.
