Description of Work:

For my final illustration I decided to revisit my thumbnails and select a different composition. I was not feeling inspired by the concepts I had begun to render and I am glad I pivoted. In my illustration for the story of Tattercoats, each character and plot point is depicted symbolically except for the protagonist. Tattercoats has her grandfather's tears as jewels on her cheeks and is draped in a veil from her marriage to the prince. She is holding the "pipe" that I decided top depict as a flute and is surrounded by the feathers of the gooseherd's flock. The image of Tattercoats shows her as being the one in control of her destiny rather than being lead by men. The story references brilliant silver fabric and golden riches. I used this as the colour palette and muted it with gradation to represent the bleak state of her former rags.
