Hi Everybody,
Getting an earlier start today than I did on last week’s blog. This week we are revealing one more of Steve Prescott’s pieces, the Orphans “splat” (pictured to the left). Her description as written by the developer:
Vaguely sheltered from a storm stands a dark-skinned Brazilian girl, late teens/ early 20s, with long black hair and layers of ragged neotribal clothing – leggings, skirts, bangles, strategically-cut/ slashed t-shirt, long fingerless gloves, etc. Urban tribal tattoos and other body art compliment her deliberately ragged clothes. Barefoot on glass-strewn, rain-washed pavement, she looks haunted yet defiant – an impression enhanced by her makeup.
This week I’d like to ask you all what kind art blog posts you’d like to see? Would you like to see a monthly artist spotlight sort of like we used to do in the Night Editions? Maybe you would like to see the evolution of a piece of signature art from the early conceptualization to the final illustration? Leave your suggestions in the comment section and let me know.
Artist spotlights would be cool. I’d love to see anything Mark Jackson is doing.
I’d like to see some discussion on graphic design – how do you develop the look of the page borders, getting the right balance between evoking first edition, second edition, and revised? Assuming there’s going to be a spine button on the deluxe book like V20 and W20, what does the M20 one look like? What was the thought process that went into creating it?
Artist spotlight would be awesome. And I simply love the art. These blog posts are great. Eagerly awaiting M20.
Did I miss Part 2 somewhere?
Apparently so. It’s still linked on the front page.
Amazing! Beautiful illustration. Looks like a girl hailing from the north of Brazil.
SERIOUSLY?
Another Brazilian white-wolf tattered.
People in Brazil do not dress with ripped clothing, just homeless.
A girl of 20 years, so it should be a beggar or something.
The idea was a Brazilian Indian? I suggest consulting some images on google.
please think about!
Brazil
I believe you are Brazilian like me, so let’s hold the pride? Obviously, they did not say that all Brazilians dress like this, it would be the same as we see, based on images of Forsaken, for example, that all Americans are shirtless, muscular and are wild. The art is trying to portray a Brazilian girl dressed like that, and not as the Brazilian girls dress.
Best regards
