The Three Robbers Part II

This is the second scene from the story The Three Robbers.

The text:
But one bitter, black night the robbers stopped a carriage that had but one passenger, an orphan named Tiffany. She was on her way to live with a wicked aunt.
Tiffany was delighted to meet the robbers. Since there was no treasure but Tiffany, the thieves bundled her in a warm cape and carried her away.

The Three Robbers Part 1

I recently finished an assignment where I had to illustrate a story. I was required to do 4 illustrations for the story "The Three Robbers" by Tomi Ungerer.
Unfortunately, I have handed in the first panel and I have not scanned it in. So here is the first panel that I did in rough.
And here is the text to go with it:

Once upon a time there were three fierce robbers. They went about hidden under large black capes and tall black hats.

The first had a blunderbuss. The second had a pepper-blower. And the third had a huge red axe. In the dark of night they walked the roads, searching for victims.
They terrified everyone. Brave women fainted. Brave men ran. Dogs fled.

To stop carriages, the robbers blew pepper in the horses' eyes. With the axe, they smashed the carriage wheels. And with the blunderbuss, they threatened the passengers and plundered them.

The robbers' hide-out was a cave high up in the mountains. There they carried their loot. They had trunks full of gold, jewels, money, watches, wedding rings, and precious stones.

Stay tuned for the next panel!

Lettuceman

This is an assignment I did in photoshop where I had to experiment with textures. I think my favourite part is the body of the shirt with the buttons.

Worried Rabbit

This is an assignment where I had to create a character in Illustrator. It's probably a strange rabbit because I was just making it up as I went.

Halloween

Here is an assignment where I was supposed to do a self portrait where I was wearing my Hallowe'en costume. However, I did not dress up for Hallowe'en this year so this is a picture of how I would have liked to dress up for Hallowe'en.

The Three Robbers

My latest assignment has been to design the characters for a story called The Three Robbers. The first picture was my first attempt. However, the three robbers didn't seem to have enough in common, so I picked my favourite robber and triplicated him. I think that I like it when the robbers are all similar. What do you think?

Bathing in Colour

This is the colour version of the piece, and I'm quite happy with it. I did it for an assignment about the 4 elements. I chose water because I like the cleansing and spiritual aspects of water.
