Shakespeare Anyone?


I absolutely adore Shakespeare. He kicks the world's literary butt. This is a book cover I did for the play Richard the III. This play, of course, is amazing. For those that don't know, it's about Richard, who wants to be king, and he basically kills everyone to be crowned. I decided that he was very "thug-like" in this play so I turned him visually into a latino gangster from LA. I personally enjoy this visual version of the play...but it freaks my mom out. (She's not too fond of gangsters.)

nice mer, this has a great city feel to it. I think the distance between the head and the shoulder, or maybe just the anatomy there, could use some more tweaking. Bu it's still really good. Keep it up! P.S. Maybe you could put some bugles on his fingers, or cheeto-cheese for emphasis:)
