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

I love it!! I love how you tilted the room. It makes you realize right away that something isn't quite right and you realize why when you take a better look at the stuff in the foreground. Those details in the objects are just amazing!
I also like grandma's hair. Reminds me of cinnamon rolls! mmmm... cinnamon rolls...

This is one of the coolest drawings I've ever seen! Wow, I'm just REALLY impressed. It's the perfect view of her good and bad side. And I started off looking at it in fullview and as I scrolled down to the puppy I was just getting more and more impressed. O_O I feel bad for those poor animals! But I love that the beetles are PRAYING! That's HILARIOUS.

haha oh no! that pantry must be huge!
The concept is so terribly interesting for this. I'm glad you ended up with something so different then your original thumbnails. And I really like the witches hat and cape behind the door, accompanied by the broom. Your use of and attention to details always brings so much more significance to each of your works; I just love that about you as an artist.
p.s. I've never seen someone make beetles that cute <3

Awesome work with the colours again. And I find it actually refreshing how it's somewhat less blurred and not monocoloured than your usual art. (Though I don't dislike that)
