Royal(?!) Plates +_+


Royal(?!) Plate Series :)

These are series of plates I designed for my illustration class.
I illustrated portraits of 4 English Queens, 
I also incorporated some weird facts about these ladies into my designs.


Plate 1. Queen 'Bloody' Mary I suffered from phantom pregnancy.



Plate 2. Queen Elizabeth I had black teeth due to overconsumption of sugar.


Plate 3. Queen Victoria only wore black dress after her husband's death.
(although not really a black dress in this design....)

Plate 4. Queen Elizabeth II...seems like she's never going to pass away .......
(that's why she looks like a doll-like figure in here)



These are ALL done digitally. 
The initial sketches are hand drawn but i did all the line works again on photoshop.

I am not entirely confident with my concept since I missed a class
and my prof didn't bother replying to my email that i had sent for some feedback.

Like always... I hate these...
but this time, except for the Queen Elizabeth I plate.
Surprisingly i am quiet happy with how it turned out.
I spent more time illustrating her than any other queens.
(started last week...)
I wish i had invested more time on each one of these instead of trying to finish
3 of the 4 plates in like 8 hours T_T
The other reason why Queen Elizabeth I plate seems more successful than others is 
because I did a brief colour study before I went into actual colouring.

The thing I hate the most is the baby that Mary I is holding.
Sadly, I just couldn't figure out how to illustrate it.

However, Although I hated this project (because i hate this course),
I learned a great deal about doing line works on computer 
which I think was totally worthwhile.

Also I realized I can actually produce something I like if I spend more time on stuff...LOL


Anywayz.............
It's like 5:40 am right now,
 and my eyeballs are about to pop out 
after working for about 20 hours straight (thanks to my laziness T_T)
But I have to get ready for school in an hour :) :) :) :) :)

Life is gooooood +_+
