1984: Thought Police Dog Squad Story
Recently I designed a 1984 book cover for SVSLearn monthly challenge. Having just re-read the book. I have developed a spin-off story idea based around that oppressive totalitarian world where The Party rules. Set in London. The story is based on the Thought Police and a member of their Dog Squad - Mangy Dog.
1984 Book cover designs
Recently I designed a 1984 book cover for SVSLearn monthly challenge. Having just re-read the book. I have developed a spin-off story idea based around that oppressive totalitarian world where The Party rules. Set in London. The story is based on the Thought Police and a member of their Dog Squad - Mangy Dog.
I made the drawings using Adobe Project Gemini (in BETA).
Hate Week - The Stick
Mangy Dog wakes up to and escapes their brain washing and goes on the run through the streets of London. The relentless oppression leads him to look for a way out of the city during Hate Week. Along the way he witnesses all the atrocities the Party commits in keeping their party members and proletariat inline.
The eyes are white to show nobody is home. Mangy has his sight restored.

Portfolio Time
So this week I’m working on putting together a new coherent portfolio based on my project See Creatures. That’s the plan.
What goes in a portfolio and what you take out is the magic sauce.

My drawing has improved by drawing everyday since Inktober. I didn’t manage to get every prompt during October. But the momentum has gathered since then. Time to work out what to put in and what to take out. And another ting is to make enough stuff to have choices.
