Artist's Comments

... and just to prove it, here's some artwork :D

This is one of the images to go with the Tarot story I was working on for my Final project at college. I was taking the traditional story that went behind the Tarot cards, of the Fool's journey. This is meant to be for the Chariot.

I'm not uploading them all here, because as a book it's a little difficult to do - especially as it's a pick-a-path book, so the story's not linear. But mainly because I'm not sure how I feel about the whole thing, now it's done. So I'm only going to put up a few pages - probably sans text, too. This one just seemed appropriate now that the bulk of the project is, essentially, over and I'm free.


PS - I'm going to get back to drawing those character pages I promised from now on :)

Yeah, and I can bet your images are superb too! ;P

And no, it wasn't exactly "fun". To be honest, I was rushing through a lot of it in order to get the damn thing ready to be sent off - which is why I'm not sure whether I'm happy with it all :( Also I have one thing I KNOW I'm not happy about. The guy who compiled the thing for me (he's got a program that puts it into book format then sends it off to Apple to get printed) he's put the page numbers in the bottom middle of the page, rather then the bottom right corner! It looks so out of place to me next to the images - cluttered, almost. I had no control over it, so it's been done that way and I hate it like that! I thought it would be off to the side like normal books! How stupid! Grrrr. I'm angry, can't you tell?

And I just know that Neil's gonna say "why'd you put the page numbers in the middle? I'd have put them in the corner." I know, but it wasn't my choice! :cries:

Breathe!! Oxygen is important!! But you know its probably just glaringly obvious to you because you've been looking at it so closely for so long. The page numbers are a minor detail - I reckon we're doing a course in illustration, not book design and typography. Just make sure you mention the reason in your summery, and also make it clear you expect to be marked on the quality of your illustrations, not the graphic designy thingy ;p

Our problem is that we're perfectionists, dammit! :cries:

You sound a little exasperated with the project, but the textures, the watercolor look and your use of color here make for a wonderful illustration.
