Chess and Ladybug

This is one of those rare occasions where I've got two pieces of art to share today-one of them is even part of my finals for fall quarter!

Chess Is King-Cover: The ultimate cover for a tale of political intrigue, drama, and espionage.

Inspiration: This was the last of my three finals for Vector class. In this one, I could do whatever I wanted. I had a lot of ideas, but unfortunately I ran out of time, so I decided to do something for my Chess concept. Because they're very instilled in negative space and grayscale, they work very well in a graphic design-oriented program like Illustrator.

Tools: Adobe Illustrator, physical sketch.

Miraculous-Ladybug and Chat Noir: Fighting evil on a daily basis, these teenage heroes are always ready to swing into action!

Inspiration: So if you've seen this week's Wildcard Wednesday, you'll know where this came from. But for those that haven't, I got some new drawing books last weekend, and I practiced some action poses on Ladybug and Chat Noir. I took the sketch in with me to school, scanned it, and worked on it in Illustrator. I did do line work for this, but when I took the eye off of the line layer so I could see the unbound colors, I loved the way it looked.
