A hideous wax baby face I made for one of my illustrations. The book describes an enormous wall monster morphing and stretching out of the plaster until it looks like plastic. I though wax was a nice transient material that resembled plastic but would behave in a way suitable for my needs. I have a couple of plaster casts of some freaky doll heads lying around so I made a quick shoddy mould with one. It didn't matter if the head was a bit wonky or lumpy. Monsters aren't perfect, it makes them boring otherwise.Golem II The Bionic Puppet Boyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01386807241910137166noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3570290207755528469.post-4813082087253954272011-01-19T23:15:00.000-08:002011-02-03T23:16:08.010-08:00Signal To NoiseOne of the main things I have been looking at for inspiration/reference is the graphic novel "Signal To Noise" By Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean. In particular I was interested in the pages that featured one single drawing that was then split up into panels to give the impression of progression, almost like a still version of a camera panning in a piece of film. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VCns7sXHQIQ/TUunMiDOAFI/AAAAAAAAAE0/ly2EM_ebrWc/s1600/72.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="235" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_VCns7sXHQIQ/TUunMiDOAFI/AAAAAAAAAE0/ly2EM_ebrWc/s320/72.jpg" /></a></div><br />

In less than a month I will be meeting this man <3<br />
<br />
<br />
I will sit through a screening of his latest film and a presentation of his big slide show.<br />
<br />
I just...I'm going to die of happiness. I will wither and die at his feet and it will be an embarrassing affair. But I will meet him. He will sign my copy of Oak Mot, and I will try to my best to look dignified and refined.<br />

This usually involves consideration of the setting of place and time and the nature and action of the characters who take part in the story. Pictorial narratives may, of course, dispense with words. My talk today will mainly touch on various elements of narrative illustration and what we often have to consider when we are illustrating texts.<br />

<i>Although Blaine seems to be a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentience" title="Sentience">sentient</a> train, he is really much more, a "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_in_the_machine" title="Ghost in the machine">ghost in the machine</a>", the artificial intelligence that resides in Lud's mammoth underground computer systems. Over time, as the world has moved on and the computer system slowly breaks down, Blaine becomes more and more deranged.</i><br />
<i>The crashed blue mono seen from the Send bridge is revealed to have been named Patricia, apparently possessed of a separate sub-personality within the Lud computer. The Patricia personality lapsed into a depression, and could not stop crying. Blaine "liberated" her by removing certain blocks in her programming, and once freed, she committed <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide" title="Suicide">suicide</a>, derailing herself in the river. It is a sign of Blaine's cruel personality that he finds this amusing.</i><br />

They're two books that hold a lot of interest for me [they're my favourite of the series] <br />
<br />
the books I'm looking at are: "The Drawing Of The Three" and "The Wasteland" they are consecutive in the series, following on from "The gunslinger"<br />
<br />
Points of particular interest in the books are as follows:<br />
<br />
- Roland being attacked by the Lobstrosities on the beach<br />
- Roland encountering three doors on his journey:<br />
1. Eddie Dean's door, a heroin addict smuggling drugs on an aeroplane.<br />
2. The Door to Odetta/Detta/Susannah Holmes [The Lady Of The Shadows] a Wheelchair bound black civil rights activist with a split personality disorder.<br />
3. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Instead of revealing a new companion, the third door (labeled "The Pusher") instead reveals a new adversary for Roland: <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Mort" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Jack Mort">Jack Mort</a>, a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisocial_personality_disorder" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Antisocial personality disorder">sociopath</a> who takes<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadism" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Sadism">sadistic</a> pleasure in injuring and killing random strangers — and the man responsible for the head trauma that created Odetta Walker's alternate personality, the loss of Odetta/Detta's legs, and the death of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jake_Chambers" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: initial; background-image: none; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #0645ad; text-decoration: none;" title="Jake Chambers">Jake Chambers</a>.

My work for interpretation of text is going ... ish. Did lots of research and re-read Dorian Gray [Albeit speedreading, but whatever] After my last post I've been mainly compiling relevant research/images for my illustrations. Of which I have thus far completed only one. here's the sketch as I've not edited the coloured version yet: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VCns7sXHQIQ/TNJHuziV2TI/AAAAAAAAACk/tpbnUQLe-SA/s1600/sybil.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="320" width="214" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VCns7sXHQIQ/TNJHuziV2TI/AAAAAAAAACk/tpbnUQLe-SA/s320/sybil.jpg"</img></a></div><br />
<br />
<br />
Sybil Vane, after her suicide. I read that there are a lot of parallels between Sybil and Ophelia from Hamlet. I took advantage of this and looked at a lot of paintings of Ophelia, particularly "Ophelia" by John Everett Millais. I noticed the flowers strewn in the water about Ophelia and thought to incorporate them into Sybil's dressing room. Yellow roses are mentioned at the beginning of the book so I thought it best to add them in too. There's a lot of negative space in the sketch that I'll fill with relevant quotations from the book. wheeeee!<br />
