The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, A Scandal in Bohemia











Well then.

Here we are at the end of another semester -- the end of a whole year! Junior year is over and done with. That's pretty amazing right there.
And then I get to spend my summer preparing to be a senior. Ooohwhatthehell. But whatever. That's for another time; one where I have not been awake for 48 hours straight.

.......

So, right, Sherlock Holmes!

This collection of illustrations for A Scandal in Bohemia, by Sir A.C. Doyle is a major part of my final project for Concepts 2. While I feel like I failed to start early and strong, I somehow managed to pick up the slack in the time that I had left and now I am left with the foreign feeling of being... actually sort of done. I mean, there's still the printing of the book dummy pages and I have to lay those out all nice but, really that's just busy work. The hardest part's over with, really.

Although I do wonder if my book dummy should have the actual text or not. Do I really want to type pages of text? ...I can't decide...... No. You know what? I'm going to turn to the Internet and copypasta my way out of this. Yeah.

But that aside, these were really interesting to do.

I do really want to illustrate books; covers, interior illustrations, whatever. I just really love doing it, and would love to do it... kind of forever.


Well, fell asleep in the middle of this, and now that I'm awake 6 hours later, I still have some finals-related things to take care of, so I'll leave this here for now!

Much love and luck to anyone and everyone else in the finals boat right now!

Words on Wheels





My final image for the Words on Wheels program, sans the poster template and the poem.

I was pleasantly surprised by the poem I received. It was about one's self-image, and not listening to the people who strive to bring you down and make you think less of yourself, but trusting who you are. I thought it was kind of cool that a fifth grader wrote that. I don't remember being that self-aware when I was 10.

I struggled with harmonizing the imagery and concept, and I hope that the illustration makes at least a little sense... um. Haha~

UNDERPANTS.

Inspired by my random doodling of underpants.

This was just some really quick practice with patterning during Concepts 2... Now, off to research the Mother's Day market! LOL.
