I sketched this straight onto the back of half a sheet of A4 drawing paper and cut it out with a craft knife, then photographed it mostly by staging it on a pile of books under my desk, turning off the ceiling light, lighting the theatre with a desk lamp under my chin and lying stretched out on the floor to take a photo without a flash. My housemates took this remarkably calmly.
Then I played around with Photoshop.
This is another version with part of the pile of books:
And here is a less tampered-with photo of the theatre.
Wowee! This is amazing!
Fantastic! Admirable! Absolutely perfect!
nice!
you’re SO doing the cover of my first book :-)
Thanks crisitunity, Vhrsti and Jason!
Jason – will it have zombie otters?
Yes. Yes it will :-)
Wow…when I first saw this I thought to myself, “this seems to be 3-D”…and it was! Yet another tip of the hat to your creativity.
Great work! Beautifull lit, wonderfully crafted, and I love the characters in the wings!
:)
Thank you, Will and Aimee.
Aimee – they’re my favourite too. Well, there’s also a tiny little cat behind one of them and a mouse behind the other, but they’ve disappeared.
