imperfect

 
Dr. Horrible is definitely an imperfect villain -- which makes the musical perfectly entertaining!  I figure I might as well illustrate the "hero" of the story since I illustrated the villain last week.   

To be honest, this is my second pass at a Dr. Horrible illustration.  I did another version a few months back:
As you can see, the composition is the same but the style is very different since I'm now playing around with a more painterly look.  I don't know about you, but I think it's an improvement :)

In other news, I've been working hard at illustrating my first official picture book project.  Working with the author has made me truly appreciate the art of collaboration.  With our combined efforts, we're able to find creative solutions that I wouldn't have thought of on my own.  We're almost done figuring out the layout of each page and I'll be moving forward with the final illustrations soon (gulp!).  I hope to share some of the artwork here soon, so keep a look out!

  2. Love them both, but the newer one definitely has an air of evil. ;)
