Edgar Allan Poe's "Unparalleled Adventures of one Hans Pfaall" illustrations

I'm loving these man really cool. That dude's hair is my favorite. One thing that might add just a touch more interest (which you have going on already a little bit in that foreground book and in the shadows in the book case) I wonder if you dapple (just very watered down) some different colors in your shadow areas some different reds, blues, purples, before you lay down your base wash to add that little bit of extra texture so it breaks up the flat washes just tiny bit more. I think it would add a lot , like in this image the character's hair, the coat, and the cover of that book I think a little texture or color variation would look good.

I love them all! Wow! So talented.
-
Also, I like the graininess of the book reader painting.
-
Thanks a lot!
@evilrobot - Great point, I try to keep the color variation in mind, but sometimes it slips
I'll make sure to focus even more on it! -
very nice! love it! : )

@akerman I defiantly see the fantasy element, makes me think you should illustrate Tolkien! These are just beautifully done and a perfect project!
-
@akerman What a wonderful style you have! Appealing characters, beautiful color choices. We are actually in a similar place, I have been in an artist in the video game industry for 10 years as well! This is a great forum to help transition to book illustration. If you haven't already, the monthly subscription is beyond worth it for the amount of videos you get.

Thanks for your kind words, everyone!
@lee-white Means a lot! I've started on your lectures about the business side of things, I'm really impressed with how concrete and to the point the information is. I'm looking forward to finishing the class. It's pretty obvious that I have put more focus on my art than on the business, and your class is a great help - the kind of video that I'll buy in addition to being a subscriber in order to go back to in the future
@bharris - That would be an amazing project! I'm going to see if I can do some smaller and faster spot illustrations for this project as soon as I'm done with a poster for my daughter's room, but then who knows!?
@natiwata - Thanks for the kind words, nice to bump into a fellow games labourer
I have started a subscription, indeed as you say there's so much great information on here! I look forward to going through the classes, I started with Lee Whites business videos, quite an eye-opener

I really like your illustrations. Your watercolor work and color choices are great!
-
Really wonderful! Love the characters and they way you are handling the skin tones and overall color. Awesome!
