Mutiny! - open illustration

This project was an open illustration, which means we got to do pretty much whatever we wanted as long as we set certain goals to accomplish for ourselves. I decided that i wanted to do a serious illustration this time around since the majority of my work is humorous. Pirate Mutiny was my theme. The goals that i set for myself included:      -interior/exterior, multiple figures, props, at least one animal, and a color palette that focus on blue and orange. 

A simple rough layout drawing.

Thinking about mood of atmosphere. 

Started painting- blocked colors in.

Then put picture in photoshop to think about appropriate values. 

This is the final. 12"x24" oil painting on wood. 

It was crituqe, and has quite a bit of work to go. So the revision will hopefully be posted soon.

also, sorry for the glare on the top right corner.

Final Piece. "Ring down the curtain!"

20"x34"

In this illustration assignment i had to take every element out of a single page in the dictionary. So here i have painted in oil an old, worn ringmaster juggling ringnecked ducks, while a bunch of ringtailed raccoons ring-around-the rosy around him.
