I got inspired again by Amelia's 'That Which We Do Not Understand' brief (and also an episode of Voyager!) so I decided to make a new series based on animal spirits. The next one I've got planned is a super cute bat. Strangely, after I'd already created this illustration, my boyfriend bought me this really sweet game called Never Alone and as soon as I started playing it, it called to mind this illustration, so maybe I'll do an arctic fox piece too!
I went to see Interstellar in the IMAX this past weekend and it was jaw-clenchingly good! The soundmix/score just made everything seem really intense and unnerving - definitely recommended!
The new Hobbit movie will be hitting our screens soon (yay!) so in honor of that I decided to create an illustration inspired by Tauriel. I was a little dubious of her at first, but she quickly became one of my favourites - she's just great! I'm really glad they decided to create her character for the franchise. So anyway, for my illustration I took inspiration from Kili's quote "She walks in starlight in another world" but I also wanted it to be a little different and unexpected. I've used a limited palette (I'll stop talking about this soon, I promise!) and lots of space/galaxy elements. Are you a Hobbit/Tauriel fan too?
So, this idea popped into my head a couple of days ago, and seeing as I've not really done anything like it before I thought it would be good practice! It's based on one of the most iconic scenes from The Lion King (of course!) and it's my take on a new baby greetings card. The baby looks like a pretty cool dude in my opinion. I'd love to know what you think. Would you buy this if you saw it in a shop? I think the text and decal would look nice if they were embossed maybe!
