Neverwhere

Description

I don't usually post school stuff, but when I do it's because it was worth the effort :I
Number one of my final works for the illustration class this semester. We were able to choose whatever text we wanted and illustrate it the way we liked, but in traditional art.
My choice was Neil Gaiman's book Neverwhere (I haven't seen the show, so my vision of the characters wasn't affected by by that at all. This is the way I imagine them). I portrayed the main characters on three combined illustrations with parts of their clothing glued unevenly for a more three-dimensional effect. Then turned them into a door-like object with another illustration of Islington on the cover.

This is beautiful! Papercutting, collage, and multimedia is probably the best way to make Neverwhere fan art. It really captures the hodge-podge, mix match, urban fairytale vibe of the story. Stunning piece of work! You bring beautiful life to the words. I wish you'd been the one to illustrate the graphic novel.
