Description MORE HOMEWORK!?

Yes! more homework, from a halloween flavored assignment in my intro to illustration class. We were assigned the imaginary task of designing street banners for the city of minneapolis, springboarding from a shakespearian quote ripe with spooky undertones and chills. For our choosing we had two from Macbeth, and one that was just labeled "shakespear".

I picked the one about all stuff going into a "hellbroth" from Macbeth, and thus the thumbnails began a flurry of sorcery and crazy looking witches twisting sinuously around a cauldron and what have you. Some involved the cauldron chasing the ingredients, which were delightfully silly.

That said, I honestly have no idea how the hell this idea happened.

A lot of the thumbnails, like i said, had to do with the witches tossing monsterous creatures into the witchpot. But then i had a few with the nanimals in cages and stuff.. so i guess from there the cages became the interior of a pantry.. in an unassuming grandma kitchen.. with an apparently unassuming grandma.. with a very scary secret... O O

DONT EAT THOSE COOKIES, UNASSUMING GRANDKIDS!!

Tools-
colored pencil, lineart
adobe photoshop 7.0, base colors
open canas 4+ - massive amounts of detail and overpainting

Aww... this is an amazing deviation. But the animals look so sad that tears are close to welling in my eyes. T_T They're so cute and harmless, how can she be so cruel?!

Old Mother Hubbard,
She went to the cupboard,
To get her poor dog a bone,

But when she got there,
The cupboard was bare,
And so the poor dog had none.
