A Room With a View

As you guys know from the below post, I was just doing this illustration as a sample piece-- was a for a kids book, but I declined the offer. It was a severely underpaid project, and I've had my share of those a long the years- so I was like, uh-- yea-- that'll happen! I still like this page though, and have done it in 2 different colours. :) This will forever be it's happy home!

Sam said...: They're both good - the color is nice on the top one, but the muted colors of the bottom give it a more moonlit feel.; 10:03 am

bee said...: Oh yeah, I don't get how some clients assume you'll do a crapload of work for peanuts... it sux how undervalued we illustrators can be sometimes! Anyway - rant over haha! These are awesome Abz, I love the muted colour scheme, but the brighter one really catches my eye. I hope you get a book commission that PAYS WELL in the future!!; 4:27 pm
