Guinevere, Papercut Style

While working out and testing a new illustration style (which I occasionally might use in a children`s book), I did a papercut illustration of Guinevere, as portrayed by Keira Knightley in 2004`s King Arthur. In Antoine Fuqua`s movie, Guinevere was not a lady hidden away in a castle, but a fierce Celtic warrior.

Below you can see some work-in-progress pictures…

And here is the final paper cutout illustration. It took longer than it should have.

    • Thank you very much, Robert. I am just playing around and experimenting at the moment. I was thinking about using something similar in a children`s book for girls. The problem is that printing on demand is very expensive when you print in colour ( as I learned with Below the Floor ) …Well, let`s see 🙂
