For my story in one shot, I wanted to explore imagery and subjects that I was not comfortable with, as well as some rudimentary photo-collage elements. Straying away from my traditional work on pen and paper presented a challenge for me, and I think that the lack of material process really worked to my detriment in this illustration.
Although I enjoyed the research and planning stages for this work, electing to place my illustration in an urban setting in a more drawn/inked style were two ideas that are very much outside of my comfort zone as an illustrator, and I think that very much shows in the final work.
In a revisited and revised version of this illustration, I might want to try again using the limited palette in ink painting or black and white gouache or watercolour paints. I enjoyed the process of incorporating additional urban elements and structures in the work, and sampling some antique photographs for the illustration, but I think that a rework here is greatly needed.
