Needed to do some illustration as it is desperately neglected at the moment as I try to finish up my thesis. The Illustration Friday topic this week provided an excuse. For some reason this is what the topic “Tales and Legends” conjured in my head. Playing with a different style too, compared to my usual stuff. Not sure what the story is: Is the rat stealing the egg? Is the death-skull koi aiding the rat or trying to eat it or steal the egg too? Pretty quick illustration (for me, I am a slow drawer), maybe 30min on the sketch, and 30 min in Photoshop to colour it. Kind of like this style, though I think the method will require a lot more refining.
