PORK THIEF PORK THIEF
(More photos behind the cut of my Maya and Pearl Fey paper illustration!)
I couldn't find the portrait frame I put aside for this, so I modified it to be square for framing, oops. But I'm still happy with it!
Alternate angles!
Details! I had fun with their expressions.
Food details 🤤🍜🥟
The idea was always to showcase Maya and Pearl enjoying ramen together, but I played with the layout and story of the piece a bit. I thought it would be too mean for Maya to steal Pearl's food, so I did the opposite. It was fun making Pearl a little gremlin.
I didn't take many photos mid-build, unfortunately, but here are the completed girls! I used some absolutely gorgeous Japanese papers for their clothes, which shimmer in the light.
Work-in-progress of the ramen bowl, those patterns were a pain to cut out. This is the second time I've used the same bowl design from Eldoon's Noodles from Apollo Justice.
Because the pattern on the Japanese paper I used for their clothes wasn't consistent, I had to find a way to see what would look good on the piece. I did that by cutting out their clothes from a paper template and laying it down upon my patterned paper.
Goofing around with different patterns…
Here's the video tour!
Framed! This was a fun piece to work on and I was happy to finally make something with Maya AND Pearl!
I made this for the wonderful Ace Assistants Zine (@aceassistantszine) which you can now download for free! Take a look and enjoy art and writing from lots of cool people!
