Happy Halloween and all that.

Professional Project: Illustration Number Three - Hermes

 

Hermes

If you're wandering what happened to Number Two, it's still being made. This one came from Terry Pratchett's 'Making Money' through some random words and ended up at Hermes. I had a look at those old Greek jars with the black imagery on them so that's where I took the colours and sort of the style from, lots of black blocking.

Professional Project: Illustration One - Rio Carnival

 

The first illustartion for my professional project is complete.

Book = Spiral

Word = Sway

Wikipedia = Sway DeSafo

End Point = Rio De Janeiro

I'd say my process for generating random subject material seems to be working on that one. This is done almost entirely in marker pens. I bought some Letraset ones. They are amazing. Outlines in fineliner and background in black ink. I think this is a good start to the project and I am pleased with the outcome. It reflects the mood of the carnival in the colours. I tried to input some influence from Brazilian artists work that I looked at, but this mainly just came through in colour as their styles were so far removed from mine that it would have gone totally wrong had I tried to go any further.

November 19th 2010: Squwarker

This is my little bird friend who visits me on hand in days. I'm pretty sure that's not the traditional spelling of squwark. But I like it. It looks more interesting. I quite like this draw as well with the fat lines & thin line details. It looks better on paper though.

July 24th 2010: Owlboy

Hoo. Hoohoo.

Big Eyes.

June 3rd 2010: Insert Eyes Here

No eyes but big crazy headwear.

April 30th 2010: A Is For Apache

Yus.
New thing. Albhabetness.
I bought ink for my printer today.
That means I can print things.
Then put them on my lightbox.
That hasn't happened in a while
I like that.
