When worlds collide

Here are some other pieces where I combined part A with part B to create juxtaposing ideas.

For this sketch (Above) I decided to combine Folk Tales with Entomology (the study of insects).
Whenn researching folk tales, the common themes where mermaids, imps and fairies therefore I created a scientific appearing design inspired by Entomology but instead of insects or butterflies I used a mermaid. I decided to use coloured pencils so I could create the shining/metallic effect of the mermaids tail.

For this design (Left)  I used the same idea of Folk Tales and chose Fairies. I decided to combine this with Future Visions. In my research, fairies were very delicate, pretty and ethereal therefore I created a tattooed and pierced fairy that would juxtapose everyone’s idea of what a fairy would look like.

 

 

 

 

 

For these three thumbnail sketches, I decided to continue the Victorian Horror combined with Gossip Magazine. I used female models because they are commonly seen on the cover of gossip magazines. In the first image I used a female version of Dracula, a common Victorian Horror/Gothic horror story. I also used a female version of Frankenstein for the same reason. I also sketched Dracula’s castle with a female figure.

Left I used black ink and red paint
Below I used black pen and coloured pencils.

 

For these ideas, I combined the wild west with concrete jungle.
For this design (Below) I created a silhouette of a horse out of black charcoal.  I then used warm toned chalks such as yellow, orange and red to create the background shapes of the buildings. I used these colours because In my research, the wild west has very earthy, rustic tones such as browns, oranges, dark greens, reds etc.
I then scanned this charcoal image into procreate, I adjusted the colours so the background paper was a bright green. I also used a charcoal pen on procreate to outline the red shaped buildings, to add some detail.
