Children of Lir

Me and my friends at uni are doing a collaboration of Folklore and Legends around the world, my choice was Irish Folklore since my mother was Irish. My choice of legend is The Children of Lir, a story about children being turned to swans by their aunt.

This is the artwork I produced.

I based the art style on the style from the film, The Secret of Kells.

Its an amazing film.

You Don't Want to Know!

I love to practise drawing, today I wanted to work on drawing in a black and white style also wanted to practise on drawing poses as well. So using the awesome referencing site http://www.quickposes.com/ to help I decided to draw some fan art for an indie game called Cat Lady by Harvester Games.

Since I enjoyed the style Cat Lady displayed, I thought I would use Susan Ashworth the main character in the game from of the scenes. Which is her in a gas mask holding a gun. Not giving anything away.

 

I first sketched out the design, wanting to highlight the dark bits I marked it with my pen, at first I wanted to use the background. But then I decided to shroud the background with mist.

This is the end result. I titled it "You Don't Want to Know" mostly because I wanted the title to sound interesting.
