Full week getting freelance work out of the way for SPX next weekend, so I might not be able to drop any work into this week's REMAKE thread. Good stuff so far, everyone's bringing their A-game.
In the week I decide to contribute a 'gassy ring' joke T-Shirt design to the R/R thread... Pia goes and produces a wonderful pic - and then Ben Templesmith decides to join in - and then ryankelly hits it out the park! I promise to do a 'proper' illo next week!
So, per my usual attempt to break the concept as much as possible, I tried to envision a lithe, flowery looking maiden with something other than a ring on her finger. Neck rings and the Karen tribes people of Myanmar served as an inspiration, and so...
Here's mine: I've been doing Dr. Suess themed paintings for my roommate's brother's baby's bathroom (whew...), and so I've been re-creating some of the book pages. Just felt like playing around with the Suess style, although it is difficult to think how he would have, obviously... Fun, anyway...
@ DBed Adore the outfit. Wildly over-budget on a secretary's salary, but a superhero never gets nabbed for after-hours looting at Vivienne Westwood. @Pia Guerra: Dude, she looks uncannily like Ariana with shorter hair. Nice inadvertent double-tribute.
There's a Beta fish variation known as a Black Orchid, so I went the Underwater way : I worked on a "visible gaz" version, but my photoshop skills are pretty much limited to Image cropping. The result sucked so much I had astrophysicians coming to my house, wondering about the black hole-like readings they were getting.
This remake/remodel has started in a very impressive way... @Ben Templesmith : Since the beginning of the Remakes, I was hoping for the appearance of two artists who had a past/present history with Mr. Ellis (the other being Stuart Immonen - one can wish...). Hell, I got to play on the same court as Ben Templesmith?! This is exhilarating, I feel honored... @SebFowler, @FrequentContributor: Awesome remakes!
