The colour Guardian and his cupboard . . .

Hey everyone,

So i've done a few drawings ~
Both of which are about my short story 'The Eye of Gyron'
and I was hoping to get opinion's and comments on both of them.

The first is my Guardian character,
now, I know there are two ~ and the only difference is the saturation, because for some reason when I was at tafe, the colours were nicely saturated but when i opened it up at home, it was all pretty much grey. So I've posted two versions ~ because i don't know what they look like on your screen's.

So i'm sorry if one is extremely overly saturated or under saturated haha

A bit about the Guardian ~

My main reference was Johnny Depp and his multiple characters like the Mad Hatter ~ 

I then just made him more Gaudy and Flamboyant.

However, it has come out quite like Charlie Chaplin and thats probably because Johnny Depp actually bases some of his acting from Chaplin. 

This character is meant to be a classic archetype of the 'trickster' hence the Jester's hat on his shoulder. 

He also happens to be a version of Arc Angle Michael, which I've hinted at a few times in his costume design and it will be hinted at even more in the setting. 

For example, the badge on his shoulder is a sword surrounded by flames - which is an iconic symbol of Michael. 

Another example is, the cuff links have the 'sigil' of Michael (I put a link to the image at the bottom of the post). 

But I also wanted to integrate an element of the 1800's and that's also why he is dressed in that manner. 

As for the floral decoration and the lace on the end of his sleeve's are really just because I wanted him to be Flamboyant, Gaudy, and slightly odd/mysterious. 

There are so many different opinions and stories about Arc Angel Michael ~ all of which, inspire stories in me ~ so i could talk about this character for hours ~ but I'll stop for now.

The next drawing is the cupboard the Guardian first arrives in ~

I'm also going to use it for my 'stylised prop' assignment. 

Yes, that is a hairbrush being used as a replacement door handle.

Yes, that tap is a tap coming out of the cupboard, 

No it doesn't work, 

Why is it there? because you're in a world that likes to confuse people and leave them wondering for fun =P 

Anyways 

Thats all for now, 

~ Until next time, 

Ariane ~
