Plenty has happened since the post From Picture Book to iPad App ~ Step 4. Kate has painted color studies to determine the coloring for scenes and characters. Nur has used the roughs and color studies to start to build the app.
Step Five: Aiden In Color
Here is our little hero straight from medieval knight play-acting. What do you think?

Can you see how beautiful and fun this app will turn out for the iPad. And with the even more brilliant display of the new iPad2. Yeow!
Deep into the story, scene 13 finds our hero trying to escape capture in a narrow courtyard of the castle.

I love the colors, don't you?

You can see why we're so excited about this project. We have lots of fun things in store for the app, such as reader participation to help Aiden in his quest.
