INSPIRATION I am genuinely inspired by a lot of the graphic art out there. Here are just a few of the bit and pieces that catch my eye.
Through-out the project I was particuly inspired by ‘Otto’ and his printmaking appraches to the design of the illustration.

Visiting incredible religious sights and being in a completely different culture had a great impact on my work and understanding of the modern day application of deities in contrast to myown culture

character represents
a deity of some issue
of life; protecting the

My inital ideas revolved around the smaller, unimportant aspects of 21st century life. Such as having Deities for getting your voicemail in time before it gets deleted.

DEVELOPMENTI spent a lot of time developing my characters from scratch. Using suggestions from our crits i tried an approach brand new to me, using Ink and Brush to draw the ‘fills’ not the outlines.
Using this new tool greatly informed the way I approached my illustrations. As with each, i tested different media i felt appropriate to communicating a character further.

FINALISINGOnce I knew how the image would work, I spent time revising the aesthetic for each deity.
