The Little Red Riding Hood And And Great Big Wolf. I Purposefully Chose To Show As Little Skin As Possible

The Little Red Riding Hood and and Great Big Wolf. I purposefully chose to show as little skin as possible in this piece - I think women don't need to be showing off crudely their assets to be gorgeous and desirable, thank you very much. Besides, this is supposed to be a 1800's German fairytale. I'm pretty sure fifteen years-old teens at that time didn't venture into woods wearing 6-inch high heels leather boots and lingerie. Very inpractical stuff to go visiting your grandmother into.

Labyrinth.

Belated hommage to David Bowie. Labyrinth used to be on one of my favourite movies as a child. Much to my shame, I hadn't watched it in over 15 years when David Bowie died. When they aired it on TV as an hommage to him, I realised how much I've missed that movie without even knowing it. Bad costumes and acting appart, the Labyrinth is a cunning movie, joyfully irrationnal and mercilessly logical, that takes the watcher away to a magical world of insanity and wonders. An ode to imagination.

Thanks for the ride, David.

Sketch Dump for Diana Wynne Jones' "Conrad's Fate" (Chrestomanci Series). Conrad's Fate is my favorite DWJ books. I like how Conrad is convinced through most of the book that all the bad things happening to him are caused by his (nonexistant) bad karma. I also quite like Mr Amos' character for being pear-shaped. "The Bishop down in Stallchester was much less awe-inspiring than Mr Amos was - although it was hard to see why. He was the most pear-shaped man I had ever seen. His stripped waistcoat rounded front, his black coat speard at the sides, and his hands had to reach a long way in order to claps behind him."

Outraged.

A doodle I decided to color of Diana Wynne Jones' House of Many Ways. One of my favourite scènes is when Howl appears as Twinkle with Morgan and Calcifer and Sophie stares at him, outraged. This is so much like them.

A Tale of Time City sketch dump.

Featuring Sam, Vivian and Jonathan on the first pannel. I did not like Sam and Jonathan's characters a lot and I guess it shows in the way I drew them. Sam looks every bit the spoiled, whiny kid he is, and Jonathan is ever so haughty.

On the second and third pannels respectively, Vivian is trying to distract Elio in the Museum and Ranjit is, well, being Ranjit on a ceremony day. Enough said :D 

From my Ugly Sweaters Series: Howard the Hipster Owl.

It started off as a Christmas card idea: I wanted to paint animals stuck in ugly sweaters. I ended up with this great idea for a children's book full of animals with ugly sweaters, having ugly sweaters adventures. There's barely three weeks left before Christmas so there's no time to make this in time for the Holiday season, but I will give it a try for Christmas 2016. Wish me luck! :3
