Being Human - Update so far

I am going to be creating illustrations for the book 2001: A Space Odyssey. I am going to hopefully produce a set of gifs for a digital E-book version of the book that will help the reader get a better picture of characters and scenes in the book.

I have decided upon making gifs as it is not commonly seen that gifs are in E-Books, but with the popularity of Gifs becoming more and more I thought it would a good idea.

These of which started as personal drawings in my spare time have now turned into the beginning point for my Being Human project. Some are very rough as I've only just started using this simplified style, but they are starting to get more complex and I am starting to get an understanding on how to make them easier and quicker (As you can see with my top image compared to the bottom)
