Dr.Bluebeard

'Dr.Bluebeard'

11x15 (not exact)

Watercolour, Guache and Ink

This is a piece I did for my Book Illustration class :)

There is another page with some of the story written,

and the layout looks pretty cool but there are too many typos 

since I couldn't revise it due to my stupid headache... 

That's why I hate working digitally lol

However the artwork is 100% traditionally painted.

I will not post the other page until i am done fixing all the typos x_x...

My Ito Junji Collection

I am a HUGE fan of Ito Junji 

so I decided to purchase some of his books over the summer +_+

I really wanted to buy 'Gyo', but couldn't find it anywhere...

so I just got the Entire Volume of 'Ito Junji's Museum of Terror' 

which is a collection of many of his works 

Plus 'Black Paradox', 'Uzumaki', 'Ito Junji's Cat Diary: Yon & Mu', 'Hellstar Remina', 'Mimino Kaidan' and 'Yami no Koe'.

So ..These were pretty much everything i read over the summer break lol

Out of all the Ito Junji's stories, I really really really loved 'Lovesick Dead' which was featured in the 10th volume of Museum of Terror.

I couldn't sleep properly after i read this x_x

It's a story based on Japanese urban legend, 'Crossroad oracle(?)' 

(sorry about my bad translation..)

On a foggy day, a person stand at a corner of a crossroad, and ask a question about the future (relationship/career or whatever it is) to a random pedestrian that walks by.

The person's fate is decided upon the pedestrian's answer.

I'm hoping to purchase a individual edition of this one day +_+

Anyway, probably a lot of people already know of Ito Junji,

but if you're into horror manga and don't know about him, please check him out!!!

Such a weird thinker with amazing skill :)

<I have no idea how to translate his name(?)...>

'Swing' featured in Cadmium September Issue :)

My work has made it into September issue of Cadmium (OCADU's Student magazine) +_+

I kind of wish it wasn't black and white though... 

But i was actually really surprised that they printed it to be so big (bigger than the original artwork).

Anyway..

It's not really a huge thing to brag about

still it's the first time that my work was ever mass produced(?).

This really boasted my motivation which i think is the most important.

I'm considering entering some competitions from this year.

Hope everything works out well!!

Wish me luck :)
