Here is some more of my "Lovely and Lethal" art that I made for the Museum exhibit of the same name. So first up we have the one above themed around "radiation." We have some objects in the Museum that would set off a Geiger counter, including some uranium ore and uranium glass. The amount they give off is negligible, but they are still radioactive. In the past, paint and other things included material that was much more deadly. Just look up "radium girls", which is who the character above is based on.
Next up we have the ivory trade. This was probably one of the easiest designs to finish up because I had a clear idea of where I wanted to go with it from the start. Some of the others I had to fiddle around with. It was also easy in the sense that I like drawing bones, so I didn't have to stretch my skillset that much.
I talk more about my design choices on my blog.
