Using the lino prints and drawings I had already done I combines them in photoshop and started playing with colours and compositions - layering things up.
I used an image of Buffy and a stake, and Faith and the knives she is given in season 3 - as one of my main ideas was having the 'big bad' of the season and their main weapon as the cover.
I think the high contrast of the images gives them a dramatic look - matching the tone of the show.
Colours ??? Nothing solid. I kind of like the pinks and purples because it's a bit different and has that 'femme' aesthetic.
Maybe a more feminine / femme/ hard femme/ girl power aesthetic type thing would give this project more direction because then I have more of a target audience and something more to work with. This would be an appropriate aesthetic because (although problematic) the show was a big feminist thing with powerful female roles in the media, etc etc. & I myself like the concept of embracing femininity while not sacrificing strength / equality / etc.
The last image was something I drew up quickly for march 10th which was the 20 year anniversary of the first episode being aired. I'm finding the more shape based stuff does look good, but it's difficult for me to do and I'm unsure whether it's kind of sacrificing my style of drawing but I am just struggling a lot with adapting the characters into my style at all????
