FINALS NONSENSE: Illustration I

By a stroke of bad luck, my two most important classes are on consecutive days, and both required multiple pieces for my final. So I died a little or a lot getting everything done.

For my Illustration I final, we had to create box art for a hypothetical special edition DVD of a movie chosen for us by the teacher based on our aesthetic. I had a choice between Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and City of Lost Children, and while I loved both movies, City of Lost Children had too many amazing characters that I just had to draw: conjoined twins, narcoleptic clones, a dwarf princess, a brain in a jar, scary cyborg men.

But really it was the two main characters that I loved the most, Ron Perlman as a circus strong man in a spiffy sweater, and Judith Vittet as a nine-year-old femme fatale in her stripey red getup (which I want to imitate). They're so fun and easy to cartoon. I tried to get a kind of circus-y feel with this cover without being cheesy.

This is the booklet cover. More One and Miette.

Aaaand some spot illustrations for the inside of the booklet. I needed more time on these, as they are kinda sloppy in places.

Frankly I'm just tired of looking at these though, so maybe another time.

I'll photograph my life drawing stuff and put that up soon, maybe.
