A comparison between a piece done traditionally, vs a piece done in Corel Painter 12.
It's like one of those can you find all the differences activity puzzles they give kids. Hahaa
The non digital piece is made of collaged recycled paper and cardboard, paint, ink, pen and tape, it's 4' x3'. It has also been chosen by American Illustration - AI32 - 2013.
The one done digitally is my interpretation of the major arcana tarot card "The Fool". The classic version of the card is also below. In my iteration I swap yellow for pink, a pattern of digital blocks stands in for the sun, and I ditch the staff and bandana luggage in favor of a blingy nautical anchor and a fancy tooled leather saddle bag. The satchel contains all of the the Fool's worldly belongings. The warnings of the impending danger ahead are given by a faithful bunny companion rather than a pup. And the solid bar of red at the bottom suggests the the precipice in the Fool's walking path. In some depictions of the Fool he has been shown to be a man of the woods, or wildman, with an unruly beard and feathers in his hair. A masked Monster Cowboy is my reinterpretation of the wildman version.
I did the tarot card version for the AIB Illustration Club's Tarot Card Project.
