I havent drawn a brain before so it was highly experimental, I thought it would look interesting to go into real detail and add little hairs on the brain which ended up looking really cool.
For Einsteins skin I chose a blue to resemble where his remains lay which was a river in New Jersey, the blue resembles an aqua look.
In full I think that the finished illustration is a really strong one which looks very cool and fits the theme of halloween.
Napoleon was an interesting one for me to draw as getting a subject to draw from was quite a difficult task to carry out I wanted to try something new with this illustration as I figured the outfit would clearly show who he is.
due to him being alive well before photography I chose a Dorian Grey painting kind of appearance for him which looks quite cool and day of the dead orientated.
Signature Churchill was his fingers for me, I wanted to focus the base of detail upon his fingers which is when I added stitch marks and long nails.
The colour of Churchill resembles English weather.. bloody cold.
this was the most difficult one for me, I struggled with what features I would add to this drawing, I chose to have a bit of his skull showing or attempted to give that view, but it ended up looking a little to much like a Jewish hat.
I covered out the bulk with hairs and little cracks in the skull.
I aded blood around it just so it cage the full view of being a skull.
The other issue with this is his beard, it looks like a strap on hannibal lecture mask, but I thought that this illusion would be a good one to keep in due to the theme of horror.
I thought I would try a smoother look for Henry the eighth and I really wanted to try something juicy with one of his eyes.
His jewellery was a bloody nightmare to get in but in the end ended up looking really good, I added in big maggot crawling out of his eye which from a distance does resemble a feature in the male anatomy.
Imagination led to this mutant maggot which looks really wicked in my opinion I am really happy with the outcome.
For some of the jewels I added a lovely white shine which really makes him standout as a character with great wealth.
Lets face it, the image would not have been complete without the beauty of some blood.
Overall I am very pleased with this outcome in particular and cannot wait to finish off the other two illustrations and put them into context.
