Character designs

As the main illustrator for the storybook, I basically illustrated and oversee the illustration of the storybook, but I also did the character designs for the antagonists of the story, the Giants.

(from left to right) Pam Mapagsinungaling, represent the corrupt politicians; Toto Magtotroso, represents the logging companies; and Mino Minero, represents the mining companies.
