SciFi and Fantasy Art: Alas, Poor Yorrick

A still life of a dagger and a skull. These were created for book illustration class, for a cover for Hamlet! I had to do three plays, but this is my favourite. Painter 6.

Excellent picture! I haven't read Hamlet, but I think we will next year for English, and I must say that this picture makes me look forward to reading it. Very real, and also very fantasy too.

"Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen?"
Cool pic, nice effect with the red background, the skull could do with a bit more accurate atonomy though (it's cool as it is, but it never hurts to learn 12).

:-) Amy Pronovost replies: "Other than the teeth, what's off? Alas, I don't have a human skull replica so I cobbled this together from a variety of low resolution internet files.. and I think i did the final based more in a neandertal/early homo sapiens skull because it had a really neat rough feel to it. 1 I do love skulls."

Splendid piece! A particularly fine skull, that!

"Oh no! I think it's Uncle Yorrik!"
"Alas, poor Yorrik . . . I knew him well . . ."

AHAHA. The title made me laugh so hard. It's odd that no one seems to remember Quest for Camelot . . . one of the most awesome movies ever. I'm still debating whether or not the skull slightly scares me or not -- great use of colors and a very realistic portrayal! Great job!
