Title: Locked Up

For this project, we had to follow our question. Mine was changed to "How can we balance the environment with a story?" The story itself shows a character chained up in the center. The environment is shown to be a prison of some kind, and clearly a story is being told.

The subject of my work is a creature chained up. The piece was made with pencils on textured paper. This piece was kind of a pain because I worked on it throughout college classes but I'm happy with the result. I created an environment and then balanced a story with it.

I used color, form, texture and space in this piece. I am kind of happy with how the texture and detail came out. I wish I could have added more detail and stuff to the background but I don't and will not have any time to work on it. My favorite part is the walls -- I'm really happy with the detail I put into them. Obviously, everything isn't perfectly straight considering I didn't have any measuring things to use while making it, but I guess that's okay.
