vkelleyart: Some birthday art for @penpanoply! I hope you like these, dear one! Title: “Hopeless” About the Art: This is a comic strip rendering of the end of Chapter 32 in Carry On. The challenge I gave myself was to illustrate the scene without any text at all, as the story being told at this point in the book exists only in Baz’s memories. We start out with a very sparse, 2D rendering of Baz watching Simon sleep. Then, we get further into Baz’s experience of being held in the dark coffin by Numpties (”one endless night of pain and noise and blood”) and, being close to death, holding onto Simon’s “Blue eyes. Bronze curls” in order to survive. As we venture into those recollections, the images become more 3D and painterly as a means to demonstrate that these are representative of Baz’s true feelings for Simon. Additionally, as Baz’s thoughts fix on Simon, the color palette changes, with Simon’s features washed in sunlight. (Fun fact: The middle spread has been laid out in the footprint of a coffin.) Finally, as Baz arrives at the sentiment that he is “hopelessly in love with him,” Baz turns away from Simon (and his feelings) and the art reverts back to 2D. -- source link
