I've just about finished my illustrations for this commission. I'm so glad it's nearly over!! This work has taken so much longer than I thought it would. With all my uni work going on it was really easy to put this work on hold. The client was completely fine with this, there's been no rush. There's small parts of the work that I'm happy with; the snake's face, the rat and the money bags in the bins. However, as a whole, I'm not proud of this work. From the start, I've found it to be a big challenge as the brief was a little odd. I also don't know a thing about politics which is terrible I know, but it was obviously a big disadvantage which took up a lot of time. The client was quite specific with what he wanted, and sadly this 'style' and area of illustration wasn't my something I'm strong at. I really struggled to create animal characters, especially with them being based on politicians.
I added the finishing touches that he asked for to pull it all together. The idea being that it looks like a job advert. A bit difficult with the long format he wanted. I've emailed him the updated illustration so I'm just waiting on a reply.
