Illustrations from The Bloody Chamber and other short stories by Angela Carter for the 2012 Folio Society competition over at the House of Illustration. Below are quotations from the stories to give some context to the images:
‘On her throat I could see the blue imprints of her stranglers fingers, the cool sad flame of the candles flickered on her white closed eyelids. The worst thing was, the dead lips smiled.’ - The Bloody Chamber
‘The hunter jumped down after him, slit his throat, cut off his paws for a trophy, and then no wolf at all lay in front of the hunter but the bloody trunk of a man, headless, footless, dying, dead.’ - The Company of Wolves
‘A-hunting we shall go! Loyal to the last, I play catch as catch can with Tab’s dead rats, giving the dying the coup de grâce.’ - Puss in Boots

The Penguin! I’ve just filled a Moleskin, and theres a lot of good ideas and sketches i want to try and paint in there, going to do a series of speed paintings over the next few months, and by the looks of it they’re mostly going to be Batman Villians =D
Most incarnations of the penguin only feature him having filppers instead of hands, so i tried to make him a bit more penguin like. DC should totally go full penguin for the re-boot, he’s looks far more intimdating than Danny De Vito for example, who just looked sweaty.

I really want to play FFVI so badly right now!
Also, Dr. Henry Killinger would totally start the fight with the line “Your powers are usless against me, you silly billy.”
