I've just wrapped up work on four illustrations for the Folio Society/House of Illustration competition, the brief for which was three interior illustrations and a cover design. They still need some tweaking and cropping, but BEHOLD!

"He had sunken cheeks, a yellow complexion, a straight back, an ascetic aspect, and, with his arms dropped, the palms of his hands outwards, resembled an idol"//gouache on coloured mountboard//~25 hours |

"A black figure stood, strode on long black legs, waving long black arms, across the glow."// gouache on coloured mountboard // ~10 hours |
 |
"Only the barbarous and superb woman did not flinch, and stretched tragically her bare arms after us over the sombre and glittering river.” // gouache on coloured mountboard // ~50 hours |
So these are winging their merry way to the Folio Society tomorrow. Wish me luck!
