Here's my first illustration for the 2012 Fairytale Project. January, check!
I must admit that it didn't turn out quite how I envisioned it. At the suggestion of my critique group I'm going to darken the background on the left and I'm not quite sure if its finished besides that. But it was fun to draw a new kind of character and to wrestle with the shadow under the bridge (which I think I might have to wrestle with some more).
For February... Snow White.
this is really cute and scary.
ReplyDeleteI love the bones... and all the word puzzles. :)
So beautiful. I love all of the little details that you put in this. The character is so wonderfully thought out. The sweet/funny/scary thing just makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteagree with the above comments. love how his face is thoughtful and unscary but you have bones (scary stuff in there). love the pictures on the bridge/home. nice!
ReplyDeleteLove it, read this to boys tonight, it's one of their faves...I would love to see what your goats look like?.....the gruesome bones are a great touch, and the crosswords are genius.
ReplyDeleteHe looks great- I love it how you've portrayed him as a friendly troll and 'humanised' him a bit by giving him a smart outfit and adding framed pictures + crosswords in his little bridge home. Oh hold on, I just realized there's also bones! Hmm well he's got to eat! :D
ReplyDeleteIm so excited for snow white! This turned out really awesome!
ReplyDeleteMARVELOUS. Love this. And I'm excited and inspired by your project idea! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. You do amazing work!
ReplyDeleteReally love this! So detailed and beautiful! I don't know why, but your troll reminds me of Jim Broadbent hehe! Can't wait to see Snow White next month :-)
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE this troll! He looks so sweet & contemplative. I'm a big fan of self-motivated projects like this, especially ones that push you outside your comfort zone as an artist. I'm excited to see your other interpretations! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful! And I am so glad we are agent buddies!
