Cracked Black Inc.

These are some of the images from the project I've been working on "(LIFE) after death". The theme of the project was wilderness, and I extended that idea to the Afterlife.

Doodle spawned from a skype conversation.

Reconnected on skype with an old RP buddy -- Lily. Found out she was wives with someone I talk to now -- Megan. So Megan and I decided to use Lily as a camel and fly to Mexico to elope.

Some quick recordings of the weird things I saw in one short outing in Cheltenham a few days ago.

Including: A man in a rubber horse mask shouting into his phone (it sounded like the turkey from Don't Starve because I had headphones though, I bet he was saying something hilarious), driving past when I stopped at the traffic lights.

A man playing flute for a tiny little girl. A busker who looked rough as hell, ex-military, and I'm almost certain is one of the homeless druggies I usually see around. But this dad and his daughter, he was pushing her forward a little and she was in awe and the guy was serenading her. Very cute. I saw the dad and daughter collecting twigs on my way home again.

A car chasing a pigeon through the streets. Because apparently the pigeon didn't know how to turn left or right, only go straight.

Warm up sketches in PS.

My flatmate's been watching One Piece pretty much flat out in the living room, and I might have gotten a little addicted. I think we've watched nearly two hundred episodes this week. Whoops.

Everyone wears a mask... mine is just more obvious than yours.

Small update, part of a collaborative zine to be produced by Pittville Press. The topic was professions, and the image had to be black, white and grey. 

I need help drumming up research ideas for my Final Major Project for my Illustration course. Because I'm dealing with rewriting classics and parallel universes etc, I was hoping you guys could send in some requests I can do for part of the experimentation part of this project. 

Basically I want you to send an ask or submit a scene from a show or maybe a book or a film, and something else to adjust it.

Which I know doesn't sound clear. But I'll explain.

It could be:

Sherlock 1x02, The Blind Banker, Sherlock is in Soo Lin Yao's flat and won't let John in. As a Zombie Horror. 

or 

Supernatural 5x02, Good God Ya'll, Sam is tied to a chair being interrogated by Rufus and Jo, with War. In the style of Disney.

It can be as obscure as you like.

Examples of the changes can be:

Changes in Genre (Horror, Romance, Comedy, Thriller, etc)

A certain director style (directors with strong styles like Burton, Tarrantino, Hitchcock, etc)

Recommending a certain style or concept (Classic Disney, Pixar, Fairy Tale, Pin Up Girls, Film Noir, Comic Book, Frank Miller, Zombies, Vampires, etc)

Or you can suggest random things like genderswaps, anime styles, characters as animals, set in a certain world (like Sherlock set in MLP), general crossovers.

Nothing's wrong, I'll take whatever you send!

TL;DR throw something in my ask or submit:

I need a show name, a scene, and whatever you think should change; and I'll draw it.
