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).
Please see my previous post introducing my idea on book illustration before continuing to this post. I did a little sketch on the quote I was thinking about using to form an illustration idea. I don't know if I'll actually use text in the illustration, at all, but I just wanted you guys to know what's supposed to be going on. I kind of want to leave a little imagination to the viewer -- but maybe I shouldn't? And I don't think I'll go full-on cartoon-y, either. This is just a quick digital sketch. I might also make the POV from the doctors behind the glass so we can see the woman better. I'm not sure yet. Ideas are welcome. ... I can also do a children's book illustration that is more heart-warming and gentle. I've worked on this little guy/gal (sex unknown and supposed to be ambiguous) for one of my clients in a freelance gig I have for a children's book series. What would you guys rather see me focus on for this last project? Wa...
Project 3: The Cyclical Nature of Things The following images reflect my interpretation of "The Cyclical Nature of Things" by showing my cycle of daily travel to and from school. I chose not to present images of traveling on the public bus because I did not want to impede on the privacy of others and use their image in my personal works. There was a particular tree I had noticed as I walked towards the Schaefer Center that had a few leaves on a particular branch that were barely hanging on. On several consecutive days I would take a photo of those leaves to see if anything significant would change over time. I found the nature around me in the spring season was very interesting and beautiful, despite the lack of full leaves.
