*at least I thought it as hypothetical, apparently The Black Cauldron was a Disney movie from the '80s. Thanks Seth.

This next one was an attempt at mixing fantasy and sci-fi elements, called 'Klank'.

ReplyDeleteBoth Beowolf and "Klank" are really well done.
Damn, Chris, these are great. I cant believe these are all your student work. Seems like you had quite a handle on things early on! Thanks for sharing, it's always cool to see older work like this.
ReplyDeleteman, i actually recognise some of these. they were displayed in bradley hall for a bit.
ReplyDeleteawesome stuff as usual, chris! would love to see more!!
oh, i've finished my first oil illustration btw. haha. i guess it came out ok. was pretty fun actually.
So before it was a movie, The Black Cauldron was a pretty good series of fantasy books. I really enjoyed them as a teen.
