Description 12 x 16
Watercolor and Prismacolors on Strathmore illustration board.

This was a project for school where I had to illustrate 2 people talking. It was slightly forced and in hindsight I would have done things a little differently, but I'm pretty happy with it considering I rarely do traditional work.

Good gracious this is gorgeous!

Don't stop doing watercolor and Prismacolors! If/when I get my novel published, I'm showing this to my publisher and saying, "Get this guy to illustrate my book."

There are so many wonderful subtle things i love about this like the dents/scratches in the armor and even the head of the baby which took me a few glances to notice. It tells a story all by itself looove it!

I can really feel a story behind it, it's so heart warming. And I know this is pretty minor but I especailly love the little chips/dents in the armour, aha. Everything is just so detailed, it's amazing! Good job!

WesTalbott In reply to Pandawoop [2011-12-09 20:30:29 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Heartwarming is definitley what I was going for so that's nice to hear. The scratches in the armor were super fun to make too.
