New personal project, inspired by a line from The Everlasting Man by GK Chesterton. "The dark alien woman staring from her high lattice and hearing like the babble of a brook over a stoney street, the singing of little St Hugh" He was referring to the Medieval child martyr little Hugh, and the alien woman would've been a witch. Did a few character studies from Brian Froud and Alan Lee's book Faeries, just to have something to go from.
You can't go wrong with Alan Lee and Brian Froud.

ReplyDeleteI am really loving the look and action of the boy. But i think i would want to see more motion in the figure of the witch, and if not, then i would switch up the composition to make her feel less stiff.
ReplyDeleteReally nice sketches. I really like the movement you convey.
ReplyDeleteAlso I wanted to say congrats on getting the scholarship to Illuxcon. Really nice piece. Maybe we'll run into each other at the con.
I don't know, I think the stiffness adds and contrasts nicely with the boy. Actually ends up making the thing MORE dynamic.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I found your blog via Bob Cook! You're doing some nice work!!
