ASSIGNMENT #1
Draw an iconic character archetype from a genre/mythology playing an instrument absurd to the genre. The idea was conceived after Karl attended his sister's orchestra show on Halloween where all the musicians wore costumes for the occasion (there were a plethora of Phantoms at the Opera).
Dan- I had alot of fun drawing Medusa playing the harp. i had significantly less fun coloring it on photoshop. that's my own fault, but it's cool cause I can really raise my bar with the next illustration.
Karl- Well, I drew a samurai playing a Gibson Les Paul. I spent way too much time overcoloring this piece (after I swore I wouldn't), only to throw a photo filter over everything to get some color unity going. I wound up with a color scheme similar to Dan's. I saw his finished piece before I started the colors on mine, so that might be the reason.
