Sktch Fart: "Interludes & Elegies"

Now that I'm done with assignments and school for the time being, I thought I might share some highlights from my Visual Development final project. Instead of following the same route as my classmates, I decided to compose an 'Art Of' gallery since I'm continuously adding elements to this story. I'm not certain if I'll ever complete this tale but I've enjoyed illustrating the characters and their scenarios since the idea was planted in my head a few years ago.

"When hinges creak, in doorless chambers. And strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls. Whenever candlelights flicker, where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present. Practicing their terror, with ghoulish delight!"

In the realm of Hades, each kindred spirit is given a role: to remind the living that the deceased still exists. Purgatory is especially lonely for Roderick the raven. Though his frightful noises and eerie effects are genius, he is the sole animal inhabitant of the underworld where he is shunned by everyone around him. This changes once he discovers the angelic voice of the divine opera singer Persephone, loved by all through her music and sweet demeanor. Roderick humbly adores la diva but his infatuation stems from a past left to be discovered...

Let's get started.
