Project 1 - Version 3

I continue to play around with placement and shadow, and to ponder what I really want to show in the doorway.

Project 5 Final: Gemini Virus Novel Illustrations

-
Image
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).

Project 5: Illustration Idea In-Progress

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 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

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.
