Project 1: BBC ​Climate change: Key crops face major shifts as world warms

Ideas

Yes.. The ideas have nothing to do with the finals. I know! But what can I say, I changed my mind.

I went a bit crazy with this project. I wanted to try something new so I did a charcoal drawing that I scanned in and edited in photoshop. It's for sure not my usual style but I wanted to try different techniques.

Project 2: TWO DOCTORS

​The story is told in the form of witness statements related to a criminal case from the early 18th century. The story's title characters are two physicians named Dr. Abell and Dr. Quinn. They both practice medicine in Islington, which is now a part of London but which would have been a separate small town at the time in which the story takes place. Dr. Abell seems to take an interest in magic and the occult. Dr. Quinn begins to suffer from terrible nightmares. Dr. Abell appears to be implicated in Dr. Quinn's death.
Story

Visual inspiration

Coronet is a small crown but also a type of bird, as both crown and bird are embroidered on the sheets that kill Dr. Quinn
But I can imagine that  Dr. Abell would have left a cursed object in Dr. Quinn's room to give him such horrible nightmares. I imagine something like the twig figures in true detective maybe with a death's head hawkmoth as in the nightmares he digs himself out of a chrysalis.

You know art school is affecting you when you find yourself alone in the pitch black on a Saturday night at 7pm listening to Debussy trying to hear the colours.... 

Work

To be honest I gave up on this project after my feedback from it. The criticism was more like making fun of my artwork. After Dwayne had agreed that I could illustrate my own story I chose a very personal project. And the criticism basically was that the dog (my dog) looks "fat and about to have a heart attack".... So I did not feel like doing anything more with it sadly.
