OK, I've finally squeezed out some sketches along LMNO's lines. They're rough, so everything is not in its place, scales are wrong and details are missing etc. I'll rearrange things later. But you get the general idea. What do you think?

Yeah the bird looks like crap, guess I've never really tried to draw birds before.

:mittens:

that is really drawn very well, nurbldorf!

and IMO, the bird looks pretty good to me, it's a cartoon :) as long as it looks reasonably the same from panel to panel it's okay.

Thank you all! I know it took me a while to get something going, hopefully I can keep it up a little more, at least 'til it's done... shouldn't be too hard since I really enjoyed it. I should try drawing more from other people's imaginations since my own is a bit crap atm.

So, since it seems nobody had any particular criticisms I guess I'll just keep going in the same direction then. Otherwise feel free to tell me whatever you I might improve/change/add/remove...

I'd say full steam ahead.  As a father of a little one, who has read many, many children's books, I can safely say you two are totally hitting the mark.  Seriously, I think you guys should find a publisher, I'd be shocked if someone didn't pick it up.  Well, there may be some eyebrows raised with the HIMEOBS bit, but otherwise I think you're golden.

Doesn't cost anything - it is 'on demand' publishing.

You're welcome.

For kicks I put up the BIP as a LULU book.
http://www.lulu.com/content/1134801
Might make it easy to print 'em, though it's a bit expensive. No royalties, of course. Had to do paperback book format as brochure can't hold enough pages. I'll probably order a few for myself to give to various people.

It might be a good idea to put the PD itself on there. Yes, SJ games publishes one, but our own print-on-demand version might be useful.

Synaptix already made a WAY better WAY moar pretty (than the SJ version) hardcover version of the PD on Amazon:

Ahh, yes, that is much better. Ok, go with that then.

I mostly did BIP to get used to the process of using Lulu, but it might come in handy.
