Cartographic Madness
Aug. 30th, 2007 11:40 pm
I've just completed this slightly lunatic endeavour, a hypothetical extension of the "T-O" map tradition. T-O maps were an abstracted map style used around the time of the Crusades to symbolically represent the relationship of the then three known continents of Europe, Africa and Asia. The detail below shows a typical T-O map. The centre of these maps is Jerusalem, the head of the T is the Aegean, Bosporus, Black Sea to the left, Nile and Red Sea to the right, and the column of the T is the Mediterranean. The O is the Ocean encircling all the land. Later T-O maps began to cram more information about geographic realities into the format, but eventually this tradition was entirely replaced by the much more practical nautical chart-making tradition that all modern maps are descended from. |
The notes around the map explain things like what source maps were used, how it possible to get from North America to Asia over the Ocean on a flat earth without sailing off (divine portals represented by the knotted tunnels around the map), and why the Pacific Rim is prone to earthquakes and volcanoes (because, of course, these lands are furthest from the Holy Land in this format). |

Cybergoth v2

Here is the Cybergoth illustration redone in the style I originally had in mind for the series. And as a bonus, here is a short video of the drawing in progress: |
Revisiting the Cybergoth
Feb. 24th, 2007 02:54 pm
I've started to finish off the Cybergoth illustration as I originally envisioned it. Almost a year has gone by since I was asked to do this project originally. The film still isn't out. I guess I shouldn't have sweated the deadline as much as I did. |
Punks Finished
Dec. 23rd, 2006 09:32 pm
Tonight I finished the version of the punks illustration in the style I originally intended to do the whole series. The full resolution image is quite large, 45 megapixels, while the "more cartoony" one is just |
( The other version for comparison's sake )
Two Hours of Colouring

O.K., maybe I am glad I didn't use this style for the illustrations. This is taking much longer to colour. |
Punks Revisited
Dec. 18th, 2006 10:03 pm
Revisiting the "not cartoony enough" version of the punks drawing for Dark Canada, just for fun. I'll be colouring this in digitally later. This is the style I originally wanted to do the series that was vetoed by the client. Once I've done this one I'll go back and finish off the other unfinished illustration in this style, cybergoth. |

The Last Dark Canada Illustration
Jul. 30th, 2006 08:43 pm
Electropunk This one is not based on anyone in particular - although now that I look at it, I'm reminded of a few people. Like the wiccan, I had a hell of a time with this one. In the end, it is all about the laptop. The coffee shop is a direct reference to my old "Sarcastic, Bored, and Somewhat Useless" comic. |
New Dark Canada Illustration
Jun. 25th, 2006 09:17 pm
BDSM Based loosely on this photo of kitsune_13 and langsuir from the Fallen II fashion show three years ago.Only two more illustrations left in this project: "Dark Metal" which I already have drawn and just need to do the Photoshop trickery to, and "Noise Punk" which I don't as yet have a clue how I will illustrate. |
Übergoth Are you getting sick of these yet? I hope not because there are several more to come. |
Proof that Bohemianism is Alive and Well
May. 27th, 2006 03:37 pm
Victorians The background of this image has two Lautrec paintings ("Ball im Moulin Rouge" and "Ball im Moulin Rouge (La Goulue uns Valintin-le-Désossé)") meshed with two photographs of Sanctuary at the Red Room this past weekend. Just try and determine where the Moulin Rouge stops and Sanctuary starts. Which of the blurs on the dance-floor lived in the 19th century and which live in the 21st? |
