Title: The War of the Worlds Author: H. G . Wells Publisher: Only Classics Audience: Young Sci-Fi Readers Illustration for Chapter 5: The Heat Ray ”After the glimpse I had had of the Martians emerging from the cylinder in which they had come to the earth from their planet, a kind of fascination paralysed my actions. I remained standing knee-deep in the heather, staring at the mound that hid them. I was a battleground of fear and curiosity. … Then I saw some cabmen and others had walked boldly into the sand pits, and heard the clatter of hoofs and the gride of wheels. I saw a lad trundling off the barrow of apples. And then, within thirty yards of the pit, advancing from the direction of Horsell, I noted a little black knot of men, the foremost of whom was waving a white flag. …. Suddenly there was a flash of light, and a quantity of luminous greenish smoke came out of the pit in three distinct puffs, which drove up, one after the other, straight into the still air. This smoke (or flame, perhaps, would be the better word for it) was so bright that the deep blue sky overhead and the hazy stretches of brown common towards Chertsey, set with black pine trees, seemed to darken abruptly as these puffs arose, and to remain the darker after their dispersal. At the same time a faint hissing sound became audible.”

I chose Moby Dick as I loved that Ishmael is drawn to the sea and I can identify with that, remembering as a toddler I wouldn't get out of the sea, even when turning blue! I chose the three thumbnails that I believe show the sea at it's most mesmerising. First thumbnail depicting the 'Indian' coral below the sea, contrasting in scale with the distant city in the background. Second thumbnail draws on the need to be as close as possible to the sea, to watch the waves break before you and finally riding on the crest of the wave. Liking the idea of using the icon 'rope' used a lot in sailing to communicate the idea of being pulled or tied to the whaling venture. First subliminally in the early illustrations and later in contrast to the ropes and harpoon lines aimed at capturing Moby Dick later in the book.

I chose "Hound of Baskervilles" and landed on Chapter 4. I really enjoyed this assignment (and found it challenging)! I think what I discovered was that I tend to think really figuratively because I went into it with the sketchbook page (4th image). Summary of Chapter 4: Baskerville arrives at Holmes' house and says that he received a threatening letter telling him to stay away from the moor. Baskerville also says he lost a shoe. Holmes and Watson follow Dr. Mortimer and Baskerville on their morning walk, and discover that a hansom cab was following them on the other side of the street.

The scene I chose to illustrate comes from a chapter in Stephen Kings' "Pet Sematary", where the protagonist is taking a bath and the freshly resurrected cat reappears. Dead drunk eyes, the looming woods outside, and the spiral flowing in the bathtub—which symbolizes an inevitable or slowly closing trap—were symbols that appeared throughout the sketching process.

I chose The hound of hound of baskerville and chapter 7 at random. Not much action in the chapter so I worked with what I had. Any suggestions on how I could improve these?

This assignment was difficult ! I chose Charlottes Web, the chapter where the goose shows Wilbur how to escape his pen

I chose the Hound of the Baskervilles. Main theme: Rational vs. Supernatural - Man vs. Nature Chapter 2 Synopsis: The origin of the legend of the hound is traced back to the tale of an evil baron who was killed on the moor by a horrific beast. In the present day, a descendant of that baron is found dead under mysterious circumstances, leaving behind a vast fortune.

One of my favorite scenes from Moby Dick is when Ishmael wakes up to Queequeg snuggling him. I thought it would be fun to show him with the New Zealand (shrunken) head. However, after re-reading it's clear that the shrunken head was packed away before Queequeg hits the sack. And it was made clear in the assignment instructions - STAY TRUE TO THE NARRATIVE. So with that, I literally opened my copy to a random chapter and was greeted with Chapters 89/90 - chapters on the Fast-fish/Loose-fish laws where it in essence explains that a whale which is beached or loose, even if pursued by a ship with the crew's harpoons in the whale, it becomes property of the Crown. Then explains that the King gets the head and the Queen gets the tail. I'm envisioning a designed, graphic feel. Play with division of land/sea, of king/queen and heads/tails.

I went with The Hound of the Baskervilles. Landed on chapter fourteen. In the first thumbnail I liked the visuals described in the book about the fog looking like an ice field and the house a floating ship. Second thumbnail is after the Hound has been shot with Watson examining the body. The third is upon discovering Mrs. Stapleton tied to a beam in the center of a room used as a gallery for a butterfly collection.

Inspired by Peter Rabbit. I wanted to keep it very simple. First idea was the 3rd image. Mr.McGregor small (loser) escaping Peter big (winner). Idea process: silhouettes - different colours - a few riming words. These are thumbnails, first ideas, so I didn’t work on it further, but: - still to find one drawing style for Peter - and I’m not sure about keeping the text as it is. (maybe add: “away from the angry man” in the last cel) - more corrections I don’t know yet I hope I stayed within the rules, but the ideas took over in a way. oh and the choice of colours was just 3 for each cel.

Dracula Chapter VII. 1- The dead sailor’s hands tied to the wheel of the schooner Demeter, clutching a crucifix. 2- One of the sailors, during his night watch on the ship, encounters the mysterious, extremely tall and pale man. 3-As the Demeter runs aground on the sandbank in Whitby, a huge black dog leaps onto the shore and runs inland.

Moby-Dick: Chapter 48, The First Lowering - Couple of views from the first part of the chapter. 1. Ahab sets out with the hunting party (which is not normal), with secret crew members that were just revealed. A black shape, like death himself, a harpoon & ropes. Framed by the shape of the Pequod. 2. Pequod hunting crew, a black mass, all hands, ropes, ores, coats, sleeves, harpoons. (thinking of what the whale sees!) 3. Still a black mass of hands, harpoon, ores, small boats framed by the coming storm clouds - which cause a lot of problems on the hunt.
