I chose Perfume as I have seen the film and read the book, the themes and imagery really touched me as they were so poignant. The emotions and senses run high and I wanted to try and convey this.

Perfume
I looked at Ophelia and her hair floating in the water. The serenity in her face as she rests in death.

Original black indian ink.

John Everett Millais Ophelia. I instantly thought of this image as she is bathed in liquid - as the main character does to his women to make his perfume. He soaks the bodies in oils.
The colours of the flowers that stand out also attracted me as thy relate to smell.

Edited with Curves for a darker colour, removed blotches, and added a purple hue to it.

I will review the placement of the ladies for the text box t fit in without masking their faces. I could make them elongated and faces more in the centre, with their bodies like smoke.

The flowing hair and angelic faces....
Jenny D Fine - She draws a lot of characters using bold lines with an angular quality.

Flowing hair and flowing dress, splaying out as she swirls around. It gives the feeling of being underwater.

Conrad Roset -

Flowing ladies that echo Egon Schile.

Muses - flowing ink, delicate hands.

Hair as though its splayed across a pillow, delicate lines mimic the grain of wood.

Flowing movements that recall the sea.

I chose 1984 as I had seen Brave New World in the theatre recently, and it had similar themes of futuristic medicine and excessive monitoring. I was inspired by the play and so chose this theme to look at.
There are a lot of films and books based on post apocalyptic or where the capitol takes over. Films come to mind such as The Matrix...
