We had to design and illustrate the Cheshire Cat as well as two other moments of our choice from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland using gouache and at least two other media. I used acrylic gouache, watercolor, pencil crayon and collage. The chapters in the book have very different moods and atmospheres so I wanted to create very distinct images through textures and color palettes while still maintaining a cohesive aesthetic. Character Lineup: The Odyssey <img width="10200" height="6600" width_o="10200" height_o="6600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/577fd4f34f3ac046ad17b1c92697e734acf4ce37f706ae8062ff54ae6ba311af/line-up-new-copy.jpg" data-mid="222073561" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/577fd4f34f3ac046ad17b1c92697e734acf4ce37f706ae8062ff54ae6ba311af/line-up-new-copy.jpg" /> left to right: Polyphemus the cyclops, Odysseus, Penelope, Circe with pig, Siren My final assignment for my Character Concept Art class at Emily Carr was to create a lineup of 3-5 characters from a fairy tale or mythology, design an environment and assets for one of the characters and, finally, write and illustrate a one page comic featuring that chacater in action. I chose The Odyssey and tried to include the most memorable and diverse characters. I find the story to be pretty wild and psychedelic so I wanted to create a colorful universe and drew some inspiration from the cult 1973 anime Belladonna of Sadness. <img width="6600" height="10200" width_o="6600" height_o="10200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3a22528bfa967370c8c280e293793685bd5f7c2a75d4f90074ec02d0fbe7b32d/cyclops-comic-copy.jpg" data-mid="222073557" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3a22528bfa967370c8c280e293793685bd5f7c2a75d4f90074ec02d0fbe7b32d/cyclops-comic-copy.jpg" /> <img width="6541" height="3027" width_o="6541" height_o="3027" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e3220844e394b236b1df5c1d50038271872ce309c722ce36d2d74cac51385c67/cyclops-comic-copy-2.jpg" data-mid="222073599" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e3220844e394b236b1df5c1d50038271872ce309c722ce36d2d74cac51385c67/cyclops-comic-copy-2.jpg" /> <img width="10200" height="6600" width_o="10200" height_o="6600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/24774f058c91cd7bebe30c95c574fa3d683af3f2b8061c6e3d198ba617bc34cc/cyclops-cave-copy.jpg" data-mid="222073722" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/24774f058c91cd7bebe30c95c574fa3d683af3f2b8061c6e3d198ba617bc34cc/cyclops-cave-copy.jpg" /> <img width="10200" height="6600" width_o="10200" height_o="6600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0c688caebe919b07067d07231d693e29978fd2b1695002eaaa15284e86a6d256/cyclops-meadonw-copy.jpg" data-mid="222073716" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0c688caebe919b07067d07231d693e29978fd2b1695002eaaa15284e86a6d256/cyclops-meadonw-copy.jpg" /> <img width="6236" height="3068" width_o="6236" height_o="3068" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8e3a9bd72311e36e3f4dd695e1ae8b77e433d6207f4f128151febeaceffa6f5c/cyclops-comic-copy-3.jpg" data-mid="222073636" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8e3a9bd72311e36e3f4dd695e1ae8b77e433d6207f4f128151febeaceffa6f5c/cyclops-comic-copy-3.jpg" /> I focussed on Polyphemus the cyclops for the comic. There is not much written about him, but in researching him I found him to be sort of a blueprint for a specific type of contemporary characters: a self-centered spoiled brat with a powerful father (literally Poseidon) who is over-confident in his musical abilities and can’t comprehend that a woman might not return his romantic feelings. I also liked the juxtaposition of the violent, brutal nature of the character with the idyllic, pastoral sheep grazing fields where he spends most of his time.

For the design I drew inspiration fron Heinz Edelmann, the iconic illustrator who was the art director for the Yellow Submarine movie. https://charliealisonlabelle.com/about-me Thu, 03 Jun 2021 21:30:49 +0000 Charlie Alison Labelle https://charliealisonlabelle.com/about-me <img width="1802" height="2524" width_o="1802" height_o="2524" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9ab4c9a93c50cbc6ca1b6d4d51467e509b14335848be0742f658dfd4ec00c7e1/IMG_0916.jpg" data-mid="110330983" border="0" data-scale="55" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9ab4c9a93c50cbc6ca1b6d4d51467e509b14335848be0742f658dfd4ec00c7e1/IMG_0916.jpg" /> I’m an artist, filmmaker and comedian ︎ I have a BFA in film production from the University of British Columbia.

Your parents always told you only boring people get bored, but in retrospect that can't be true. Days are filled with conversations with people you barely know, all these separate little annoying things to do, commutes, and then, somehow, at the end of the day there is always still that loaf of bread you need to pick up from the grocery store? If you didn't find all of this kind of dull you would be Natalie Portman in the movie Garden State, which would actually be very annoying to your&nbsp;family and friends. Not the Mood focusses on those moments when you cancel plans only to spend the evening lying on your bed, airdrying&nbsp;from a shower and wondering if you should become a dental technician, and renders them in lush, vivid colour. Because you are a complex and multi-faceted person but you're probably never more yourself than when you're staring out a window picturing the outfit you'll wear to your movie's Sundance premiere even though you haven't even so much as written the words "FADE&nbsp;IN."
