VICE/VIRTUE

For Daniel Krall's Lifestyle class we had to create a poster for a given vice and virtue. I was assigned Lust and Chastity. Included in the posters are the the latin names for them as well. My concept for this particular set is that hair is a vehicle for lust, almost like a sexual organ.  In the lust one, it kinda going everywhere and in the chastity piece is acts like a helmet, it's static, obstructing the subjects view.  The hands and the density of the drawing were also elements taken into consideration for the concept.

"Henry of Sound and Blood" Book Cover

Two versions for the fake book "Henry of Sound and Blood" by C.S. Malcolm. For Fantasy Art for Jaime Zollars. Since this is a fake book, we had to pick from a list of interesting titles to illustrate the cover for. These are my interpretations for the cover. Lemme know what ya'll think.
