Description For this assignment my portfolio instructor gave each student a job title, and after that we could illustrate the person working said job any way we liked. I got Carnival Ride Operator. After many sketches and thumbnails, this is what happened.

My brother was the model for this guy, and I worked off of pictures of carousels and ferris wheels too. I drew it out in pencil and rendered it in Photoshop with a lot of pen tooling and sponge brushing.

Thank you so much! I'm glad another piece of mine caught your attention!
He is kind of like Willy Wonka with the charm and the style, but probably more scary-- unless you count the original boat ride. Anyway, thanks again!

Thank you so much! And you're right! Even besides the posing they give off a similar feel. Is it yours?

I love the colour and the angle in this; it gives off this uneasy vibe, a sort of sickly feeling. I feel like I shouldn't trust him, but he has this sort of attractive charm. I don't know if that's what you were going for but I had to favourite this as soon as I saw it

That's actually exactly what I was going for, thanks so much for giving me your feedback! I didn't want anything here to look clean or welcoming despite him giving off this false air of invitation. Thank you again!
