As a birthday treat (and because of the release of Bridge of Storms) I have been rereading the Mortal Engines quartet by Philip Reeve.
I love this series so much and I had a lot of fun drawing the people that would populate this world.
Hester Shaw is such a complex character, I can’t articulate how much I love her. Drawing her was tricky but hopefully I did her hideous face justice, no designer scars over here (à la the movie adaptation.)
I used a MishMash of historical dress and recycled elements for the fashion of this world, and really had fun coming up with ideas. I’m especially pleased with how Boo Boo Pennyroyal’s hair turned out, I did an apollos knot from the 1820s.
