This project was all about transforming a doorway in Savannah into a portal from another dimension. Since I wanted to spread my love for deep sea creatures to the world, I decided to go with a big eel slithering out of one of the beautiful doorways I pass by here in Savannah frequently. Mr. Sashimi's Big Adventure was created over two weeks using gouache on gesso and illustration board.
Putting down initial washes of color alongside the color study.
Finalizing plans for the eel's color and starting first washes.
Final composition.
Value study done on toned paper with black and white colored pencil.
An alternate composition.
