Avicide Illustration

In my last couple of posts I showed you the final design for both of my unsual words, but I thought I'd create a post displaying the illustrations themselves.

First up is my illustration for Avicide, my favourite out of the two.

Avicide means "the killing of a bird or birds" or "the slaughter of birds, bird-shooting". Pretty gruesome huh?

Tools | Biro | Photoshop to paint blood and do the blur

Unusual Words - Final Designs

I managed to finish my project two days before the deadline, woop woop!
I actually did a lot better in this project than I had done before. I guess that's because I had only researched on what was relevant instead of rambling off on one topic or another that wouldn't help me at all through my sketching and designing stage. Hmm.

Anyway here are my final designs, and I've also included a photo of when they were all printed out and pretty. I'm just so happy with them! Especially Avicide... Really tapped into my creepy side with that (not that I have a creepy side though!)

Printed out:

Falling Feathers

Just some illustrations I have done this past week for my uni project.

I went and bought some feathers the other day from Hobbycraft because I think I might settle with the idea of having some falling feathers stained in "blood" for my Avicide piece. I have just decided which one to post but I thought that I might as well post them all here.

1 & 2. Used watercolour for the background, white feathers, and also some watercolour for the blood. 

3. Used biro and then scanned it into Photoshop to do some blood splatters and make some of the feathers blurry.
