Illustration Friday: Choose…

Illustration Friday! This weeks subject is ‘Choose’…

The thick woodland mist waxed and wained, peeling away in front of our heroes eyes, as it revealed one of its many secrets.
Two wooden doors stood in front of him, built into ancient stonework. He sniffled the air, it was damp and grisly. There was a cracking of rock, as the rest of the forest hung in unusual silence, and he beheld a pair of old eyes open from within the stone. ‘I am the overseer of the doors’ it uttered in a sharp voice, ‘and now you must Choose’…

One day this might become a comic :)

  8. Hi!
    I colour my work digitally, but I often use textures scanned in from watercolour pieces (to bring real paint textures into the computer), which is what is going on here!
