Her name's N...

So, in order to fluff up the character of the girl that will be the mascot of the column, I'm starting a series of poses or situations, which will help me to define her personality and looks.  For the moment the people at OPM are going to keep the first illustration (which I'll post in a few days) as the official background to the column.  This'll give me plenty of time to perfect N...'s appearance :)

New York, New York

These are the walls to my pavillion.  I drew them with colour pencils only, with a slight helping of ballpen :p and next to zero reference.they're fictive representations of an Overwhelming New York, with the buildings distorted by a fish-eye perspective.

SJP

A little something to keep y'all sweet, until I've finished my jury and can post the rest up here.  This is supposed to represent (slightly, no full resemblance was intended) Sarah-Jessica Parker, from a  lower point of view, to make her somewhat more impressive.  She's the character who recieves the guests to my pavillion.  (it's supposed to be about a memory, and mine is of the time, when I was sixteen, that I stayed in New York with my godfather for five weeks, and I landed on the set of Sex and the city and saw SJP. :))

nudes pt.2

I had to fit these last three in a new box, apparently.

nudes pt.1

these are 4 minute-sketches I made during drawing of the nude.

Kirin and Vayu

Normally I was gonna post this when I finished the whole four elements, but I'm too impatient, so her are Wind and Fire already.  The thing in the upper right corner is the tribal mask that represents them.  I already made the Earth one, so I'll get started on her soon (yes, her :p)

There's a story behind them, but I'm not ready to go into that yet.

Girl sets fire

This I made for Officieel Playstation Magazine, not on assignment, but because I wanted to.  She's one of their columnists, and her section is called "Girl sets fire".  So, yeah I thought it was fun to depict her in this manner, with a badass attitude and a flamethrower.  Tarantino style :p

I sent them the illustration btw, and after mailing back and forth some I got an answer from the editor in chief, saying they were starting a new collumn in september, and they thought my illustrations were perfectly suited for it!  Whoopee! (to boast; they are the best-sold playstation magazine in the Benelux :D).  So we'll see where that is gonna end up, fingers crossed!
