I have illustrated several aspects from Wil Mara's novel, The Gemini Virus (2012), a very graphic and detailed novel about a deadly virus that started in a small American Town, then quickly spread throughout the surrounding cities and states. Because of the amount of disgusting detail in the novel and with the very real Coronavirus pandiemic I thought I'd spare my classmates that amount of gore. I chose images that stuck with me as I read that I think would give the viewer enough information to interest them in possibly reading The Gemini Virus , themselves. So, I guess it's kind of a promo image. I wanted to show part of my process by showing the copyright/royalty-free images I used from Pixabay.com (left side) and the end results of my Photoshop Illustrations (right side).
Hey gang. My idea is to make a book cover or book spread illustration, perhaps for a children's book, or a more mature genre. I've been reading a story about a viral outbreak called The Gemini Virus by Wil Mara. Though it's a very graphic novel with quite disgusting imagery described I've been very intrigued in thinking about what an illustration would look like, and thought it might be interesting to make one of my own. I have made little quote images for The Gemini Virus, as well as an image I Photoshoped of myself having the early stages of the virus for Instagram. See below.
The above image is my progress on Project 1 using Adobe Illustrator 2019. Above is the original image source. My idea is to take the idea of a record player and use it along with the idea of going back in time. As we hear music from various eras or different genres of music we are mentally and emotionally transported to that time, space, and/or event within ourselves. This is the big idea I'd like to convey.
