GIANT PREYING MANTIS
Full-colour version
based on my original pen and
ink illustration from Bloodbones, a Fighting Fantasy Gamebook
written by Jonathan Green (Wizard Books 2006), created using Photoshop and
a Wacom Graphire tablet
Quite a few changes were made
to the underlying drawing for this version: Some of the BW version's
black-silhouetted foliage was omitted as they had mainly been added to the
BW version to boost the contrast with the white foliage coming in from the
border; a lot of proportions were changed for a more realistic feel.
There's a different range of visual "tricks" to establish layering and
depth between colour and pen-and-ink work.
