Why did you make this work:
When my kids were old enough to start learning their letters, I tried to find engaging apps that would teach them their ABCs. All the apps I found were very similar and often with poor quality graphics. So I decided to create an app myself. The app had to have a distinctive look and feel, friendly, colorful, and fun to play with beyond just learning the alphabet.

How was the illustration used:
All illustrations will be used on the upcoming AlphaPod app.

How did you make this work:
My kids came up with a list of 26 animals, and I created an illustration for each with a fun, colorful, steampunk style. My goal was to create something engaging for kids but also an interesting illustration and app development project for me. Each letter has playful mechanical pods and a coloring and animation component, as well as music and mechanical sound effects.
