| "all my soul within me burning" |
To break away from the style I favour - with many outlines I have done some ink silhouettes, which I really like the look of. I used quink because I love how it makes a bunch of funky colours when you water it down. (Though this wouldn't be good for a two colour brief, I think it's fine for a play). In this last image of the cat (Based on Poe's "The Black Cat") I have added the detail of the eye with coloured pencil over the top - as the cat's one eye is a big part of the story. These images definitely show the dark atmosphere of Poe's work, and I love the simplicity of them, though I am still tempted to combine this technique with lines on top too.
I've slipped back into the pit of red and black but I think for these images it works quite well. The first image although not explicitly showing anything suggests the fate of the character in "Never bet the Devil Your Head", the second image is more obvious.
These are not greatly done, I just wanted to slam down the idea. For the Tell Tale Heart and The Black cat I think this layout, the image being incapsulated in the head gives a suggestion of the guilt of the character. It's pretty simple, I'm not sure how I feel about it, half of me thinks something simple could be really effective but then half of me just wants to make stuff as intricate as possible. Can I blend simplicity and intricacy successfully?
The pendulum just looks like bad Bane fan art, totally wrong.
