My final project for my Basic Illustration class, done all in black technical pens with a teensy bit of white gouache for touch-ups (sepia tone and border in photoshop). The assignment for this one was to illustrate a fortune cookie phrase, but we could stretch it as far as we wanted, as long as it still sort of pertained to the original phrase. Mine was "Something unusual will happen to you at work or school." So maybe this is a researcher's desk who recently unrolled a Japanese scroll, and unwittingly released a terrible fox demon into the world! Or something... XD
I had a lot of fun with this piece, especially with a medium I'm unfamiliar with. I know that the muzzle looks weasel-ish, and the cast shadows are pointing in different directions, and I'm sure there's plenty other stuff that's wrong with it, but like the other class projects, I've had enough critique for this one. I did touch it some when I got it back, like pushed the darks a little bit more.
The sepia is a nice touch I think.
Rather than being appalled by the idea of setting a demon loose on the world, I'm rather entranced by him and all his teeth. ^.^ *laughs* Now if only the fortune cookies I've gotten resulted in such interesting scenerios.
Wow! I really like the idea behind this and the perspective is great! The twice-cast shadows could be due to two different light sources in the room too, yanno? Very spiffy.

"'Well, then', the Cat went on. 'You see a dog growls when it's angry, and wags its tail when it's pleased. Now I growl when I'm pleased, and wag my tail when I'm angry. Therefore I'm mad.'"
When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.

Lets get out of here while there's still time to walk, running for your life is so geeky.
