PoJangMacha Girl

[Lord Dubu]

Whenever I experiment with style, I start with the same subject: "Woman eating rice". I've scanned the pencils on this project, as I plan to go two directions with it.

First: traditional water color.
Second: CG Color.

The background is loosely based on photographs I took in the Itaewon shopping district of Seoul Corea. Since this concept is for a sci-fi short I'm working on, I've doubled the neon, and made the scenery more claustrophobic.

I think the biggest challenge for the traditional version will be all that text, which right now is too obviously rendered by hand.

Please feel free to open up with comments. I'd love to hear what people think.

Good work! Background looks great. "Korea" is spelled with a K, by the way.

The girl could use some work. The pose looks like she's trying to gag herself. I didn't know the robot hand was hers until I read the text. If it were me, I'd find some photo reference and work from that.

Actually prior to the Japanese occupation of Corea, it was spelled with a C. The K was imposed on the Hanguk Saram by the brutal Japanese regime who saw it as one more way to strip their subjects of a right to culture and language.

There is a strong nationalist movement in Corea today to rectify this remnant of foreign opression.

As to the girl, actually I did use a physical model as reference for the pose. Possibly the uncandid aspect is showing through in the geasture.

I'll watch my model who happens to also be my wife, tonight at dinner and pay close attention to her geastures with chop-sticks unbeknownst to her.
