tastererer

A film i worked on a little while ago is finally releasing some of its stills, so for my portfolio website i am going to pair these with my costume designs. Unfortunatly the original designs got lost somewhere in the pitt that is my room, so i re-doing them, below is the sketch base for one of the charecters - just a little taster...

copycat

Ive been seeing these everywhere, so i decided to do one for myself...

idio idio idio

So im working on a book project with my sisters (2 of them - both lovely and talented) which will be some parts writting and some parts drawing, my contribution is all art, as writting brings out in me a fear usually reserved for hitchcock movies and the like. one is a six page series and the other two sets of two page spreads, the rough work below is one of the two page spreads entitles 'whitch fights' the name pretty much sums up the entire concept - can you tell i have been reading waaay to much Terry Pratchett books...

the baisic idea is two sets of fights between witches of different cultures or sterotypes: salem, aztec, kanji and pagan. if i had the time i would do whole series for each fight but instead i am picking one moment from each and illustrating it in in and watercolour. with this project im trying to push myself in my ability to represent space, movement and angle - i want these pages to be visually arresting hence why this layout below has been rejected - its to flat.
