For the final piece I used digital Illustration, I focused on three of the Monsters I had researched in most depth. These being, Medusa, Scylla and Sirens.
I created a ‘Quest’ book, describing and illustrating the Monsters.

The front Cover is initially supposed to look like an antique notepad. The word ‘Notes’ has been scribbled out, below that is an engraving into the ‘leather’ fabric, that says ‘How to Survive Monsters.’
I wanted the engraving to be the idea of the book, but then I’ve added a ‘Women’ over the word ‘Monsters’ to create the idea that someone has looked at the book and realised these women are just powerful females.

The first page is Scylla.

I created the illustration, using a native Greek female as the reference.

I gave Scylla six heads, with elongated necks. I then used the idea of Octopus tentacles with a dog attatched. As Syclla is a sea creature, I used neutral colours that represent the ocean such as blues and greens with a hint of yellow and red.

I added a textured background for the idea of paper, I highlighted the important features and added notes about Scylla. I also added the Greek spelling of the word ‘Scylla.

The second page is of Medusa, I did the same technique of adding notes about the monster as well as the Greek work for Medusa.

For the illustration, I used  neutral colours as well and created the skin of the monster as blue for a reptilian presentation.

And for the last page, I created a Siren with bird legs and wings.

I created a back cover to tie everything together.
