So, here is the second nearly complete accordion book.
I previously posted the design/mini sketches without explaining why I chose this idea or what this book was meant to be about, so here’s a brief explanation…
I believe that everyone should be “obsessed” about what they eat, as this means plays an important part in being healthy/unhealthy. The protagonist of this illustrated tale, whom I shall name X, is not obsessed with healthy eating. Not only does X live a life on a diet of fast foods and beer, but X goes as far as to consume leftovers from weeks past. I want to show what’s happening to X on the inside, but without getting caught into details of what bacteria does, so I decided to liken it with a movie of an alien invasion of Earth that X is watching on TV.
Below is a thumbnail showing the inside content of the book (click on it for a larger version).
The textured, Venom-esque cover was created by smoothly applying silver paint as the under layer, and once dry, splashing black acrylic paint over parts of it. The cover’s intention is to illustrate the spreading of the bacteria.
