VICTORIAN INVENTOR
This was painted a few days before this post,in march 2009. It is a small size at 4x5 inches at300ppi.My inspiration was watching 'the Victorians' documentary on BBC tv, particularly with the hair styles (side burns)!from the website.....
This digital illustration is a nod to the industrial revolution of Britain in the 1800's. It is quite stylized, with the perspective distorted throughout and the characters are also stylized. The main character is the chief inventor, with drawings and plans under his arm. He is checking the efficiency of his workforce using the steam power technology of the time, by consulting his stopwatch The other members of the work force carry on with their duties. The main source of lighting is coming from above and the beams in the roof are cast shadows throughout the scene.
Painted in 2009.
