Kirikou and the Sorceress

One from my digital illustration class:

kirikou_sorceress

Karaba the Sorceress

We were given the black & white linework and then asked to paint the image and apply textures to make it look less flat and smooth. I had no idea what this was from until I looked up the filename afterwards, then had fun tracking it down on Youtube. (Think this is my favorite part.)

 

Also, uploaded a color version of the Starbuck collage from the same class:

My instructor praised my “use of symbolism in the cloud shapes” for this painting, but really I was just going by one of the many photographs I took of a gorgeous Humboldt County sunset. Sometimes a cloud is just a cloud.

Of course now that she’s said that, I find myself moved by the poignant struggle illustrated by the tank-shaped cloud on the right mercilessly pursuing the poor turtle carrying a pastry in his mouth, as he tries to feed the ravenous bunny with the detachable jaw on the right.

…nope, still just a bunch of pretty clouds.
