Contest Brief

Hello! this is a short story about a sheep named charlie! and his life lessons, this is an adults themed children's book that deals with the harsh realities of life.

make once scene of the following story as your mockup/draft

basically i need a few pages for this story line drawn up as well as a cover for the book there will be more in this mini series so there is the possibility of more work and even an animated series. basically scenes broken into paragraphs

i will leave the style of illustration to you as i am open to ideas. it must be in colour and resemble a kids book style

"charlie" the sheep must be black and homeless looking or poor. sad and depressed.

"sally" the sheep must be tidy and smiling and rich.

the mother must look old and wise.

they are in two different paddocks which must be green with blue sky and small clouds

title: the little black coloured sheep that .... asked a question

by chelson aitcheson

page 1&2
one day charlie the sheep was playing in the field with his best friend "sally" when her mother called out "its time to go home your father is waiting sally" and sally replied "ok mom! i have to go now charlie, where is your father?"
(skipping in a paddock having a good time with mom on the hill and her fathers shadow in the background)

page 3&4
charlie looked at sally "father?" with a pondering look on his face he replied
"yes silly, we all have fathers but where is yours?" sally asked charlie. Charlie said "im not sure ill have to ask my my mother, ill let you know after dinner bye!"
(sally with a cheeky look on her face because she has a father and he doesnt and charlie looking sad because he knows his father is absent)

page 5
so charlie ran off into the the paddock and was mauled to death by a dog and no one ever heard from him again.
(charlie hopping away into the distance away from sally and being chomped up into pieces by a dog in the paddock)
page 6&7
After dinner sally asked her mother if she could go play with charle in the other paddock and her mother said
" you could darling but im affraid your best friend was eaten by a dog and is sadly no longer alive"
(sally looking optimistic and her mother glad that her friend charlie is dead)

page 8&9
with a shocked and saddened look on her face by her mothers honest blunt brutality she asked "but why mom!?, why!?!
"life is a bitch sally and some questions you will never have answers to" replied sally's mother
(scared and shocked look on her face and her mother looking wise and reassuring)

page 10&11
and they all lived emtional and stressed lives in fear until they too were all turned into dinner by the farmer.
the end.
(Sheep living in fear hiding in paddocks looking disturbed and finally on a dinner plate)

(at the end on the last page have them on a dinner plate with the farmer an his dog smiling)

Hi, I have 2 questions/clarifications: 1) I imagine you want an original illustration, no stock images and things like this, right? 2) The book you are assembling will be printed or will it be seen on screen? Thanks, I'm working on it anyway!
