The Little Mermaid (Triptych)

- Allison Fritsch

tryptich

The story is of a scared spaceman stranded on the moon.

beginning: the Spaceman is awoken by what he thinks are monsters 

middle: the Spaceman fears or his life as the monsters go in to grab him.

he shortly after realizes that the monsters are not monsters at all, and are there to help.

end: the spaceman is assisted by the friendly creatures he once believed to be monsters, and is able to reach his planet.

The look i was going for was hard to get with pencils, and since it was going to be uploaded on the blog I decided too do my sketch digitally.  However, the final is going to be in full color(i was thinking gouache.)

Sophmore Illustration 1 Edited Pieces

8" x 8" Sumi Ink, Gouache, Acylic

This is the redone piece for the Baltimore Scholarship article. I added the shadow on the ground this time around... hopefully it makes the characters pop more and more weighted onto the plane.

9" x 4.5" Acrylic & Watercolor

Another spot illustration for an editorial using onomatopoetic words. The 3 words issued for me were "rip, crunch, poof". So I catered this to the Travel Magazine. So in this case, there is a man ripping a bag of potato chips, with the man next to him crunching a can and asking for one more can while the stewardess comes down the aisle ready to serve him his icy cold beverage. Poof, I guess?

5" x 7" Sumi Ink

Again another spot illustration for our cookie fortune assignment. Mine read "You are almost there".

Here is the inside cover to my visual journal. The phrase I got was "Inside you, boy, there's an old man sleeping". As I was finishing up the piece one day, the light was shining in my room in a particular way that cast some interesting lighting on the gent.

BANG, POP, SMACK

Almost done. Just going to change the chef's expression and add more lights and darks
