Description

I made this with pens, India ink and a bunch of chopped up pages from a garden encyclopedia. I couldn't think of a good title, so I just went with "Tabouli" because of this dream I had last night about a group of villains who were all named after Greek food.
The most dastardly one was Spanakopita. Donnie Darko was also involved, but he was one of the good guys.

Also I know I've been saying this for like months. But I'VE BEEN WORKING ON SHAMBLES AND I'M GOING TO START POSTING PAGES SOON
FOR REAL THIS TIME :iconserioustearplz:


EDIT: Alright, this thing has a real title. It is named Victoria, after the species of lily pad in the diagram at the bottom left corner. :^D

I am quite impressed with this, the detail, the print, the design, the concept, the colors, the layout, the flow, the transfer, everything is just fabulous. I am very intrigued with the text behind and what it means to relate with this whole overall theme, I have several theories but I won't bore you with them. I like the whole black and white sepia theme going on with the splashes of color. I like how the fish look, the ones in the air and the ones below. Personally, everything looks rather flat, and I'm not sure if it was meant to be that way or not, but either way it looks fantastic and it makes it seem very ... Something. I think that the way you attached(I'm assuming? Or did you just draw it on?) the picture to the, er, background is interesting. It looks very flat, and gives it almost a childish appeal, in the way that it's so simple.

The character him/herself has a very interesting expression. Almost weary, or resigned. But they're facing forward so that must be a good thing. I feel almost as if everything is in a battle of some sort(forgive me of all my idiotic delusions, I sort of ignored your description in case you added a story or a motive to making this in it) and he's(Going with a guy here) going in. He's very. . . Plain? But not in a bad way. In a clean way. A very clean way. I like that. I like that a lot.

The ship is gorgeous. Gorgeous. That is all I can describe it with. I love it. It's fantastic. Utterly fantastic. From the designs to the machinery(Okay, wrong word but you know what I mean right?) to the just mooooof. SO AWESOME.

Fishhhhhiieessss!!!!!!!! They're so cute!!!!! Okay, cute was actually the worst word I could come up with for describing them. They are very. . . Peaceful? The ones at the bottom I mean. The BFish are so. . . So. . . I don't even know.

What is that red/pink ball there? Is it. . . Something that should be obvious???

TFish. They are. . . Actually rather frightening. For reals. They have rage, bro. Lots of rage. Well, my mind interprets that as rage. Well done though. I like the textures a lot!

The background??? The. . . Frame??? I mean, the asexual reproduction is really all I can kind of see with my glasses on and I'm wondering how it relates. Is it supposed to relate? Maybe there is a battle and it's like a world war battle nature nerrrr thing? I don't know, but I like the effect they have against the darkness that sort of draws everything together.

I apologize for the terrible review, but in any event, I enjoyed this a lot. A very lot. That didn't make sense.

And just because I'm too lazy to add another comment, this is what I would say if I were to just give a comment:
