I've shrunk the 10-page series to an eight-page one and have posted the limmerick accompanying the illustrations. I worked on two layers in this project. The forground consisted of the drawn and rendered characters which were pasted on paper springs to impart a 3D effect. The backgrounds were created using some basic black paper cutouts, rotering ink, drawing inks, poster black, glass markers, charcoal yada yada, but I chose to do the lighting and enhancements on photoshop.The reason for attempting this kind of project is to break away from the "long format" stories that have become kind of a weakness for me these days. My stories roll out in acres and I can never get to finish them! So I just put my foot down and decided to play and short and sweet.

hey, as i said before, really loved the treatement for this one! one of your best. though hey, all of them have a different hue(foundy..colour!!hehe) to them..i dont know if it's intentional, but they'd look more professional if they had the same hue of monochrome :P and u know,on a closer look, this also really really reflects your panache for fashion illustrations!
