Description
Warning, big piccie!
Please full view & comment!! ^^
Look! An update of random! lol XD Gah! I am SO sorry I STILL haven't got back on >_< Uni drowning me in assigns ... Annnnnd you know I'm lazy in general XD
But I just got a coupe of weeks and then I shall be freeeee! ... Technically I finish on the 29th, but I got an assign due a couple of weeks after that (Gotta make a mock maganize
Fun actually ^^)Anywho! THIS is what I did for my final Illustration assignment
The project was to create a visual themed dictionary using the alphabet, e.g. like children books where they do the whole 'A is for Apple', etc. 
Being a strange lil' one, I decided to do zodiac signs across cultures... I was going with fairytales or myth, but EVERYONE was doing that... So change of plans
Each letter had to be done individually on paper or board (me the silly one went with illustration board... Soooooo much money eaten o_o lol) Which then had to be scanned and put together into a poster... And tada, I finished all the letters FINALLY! Seriously felt like I never would, lol
It took about 7 weeks o_o lol XD They look so simple, but there's lots of work in 'em!
Each is approx. 10cms in height, done on illustration board (coldpress, 80 mat), drawn, inked and coloured with Derwent Coloursoft penicls
It was actually pretty fun, I really enjoyed doing it ^^ ... Though they're not all the best, but still... Enjoy! ^^

This is so creative! I got most of them, but I never studied African or Ancient South American zodiacs. So cool!

In you Β΄re meaning of the sign-list, there is no T, i think it Β΄s for Taurus. But none the less, all are very cute.
