What drew me to Elsa Chang was how her illustrations were more like concept art. Many of them suggest a whole story but we are only getting one frame of it. The first of the pictures above was what gave me the idea for my pair of characters. I wanted to make concept/ illustration art to present a situation where both these characters meet. Chang is more subtle with her use of colour, using faded pastel's making her images soft.
Above are the pictures I used as references whilst developing the two characters. After looking at Chang's Bonnie and Clyde tribute art above everything else just fell together. I used pintrest to find a setting which is where i came across the milkshake bar.
The process for creating this concept art was the same as Brittney Lee's, I lightly sketched it out and got the proportions correct. Then once I was happy I used a fine liner to go over it. This was then scanned into the computer ready for me to add a coloured layer. Trying to make two characters equally stand out but at the same time not clash proved difficult. I found when the dress was too brightly coloured it looked bland along side another character. I then moved onto deeper colours such are black and burgundy. These became the primary colours in the final result.
