The look of this typeface definitely says fantasy/sci fi to me. I especially like the "A".
Other than that, I've been coming up with ways to alter the general logo so that it can be used for each genre (for example, for the horror genre the kraken is dripping with blood instead of holding a ship, is reading Call of Cthulhu, and has a red oval rather than a brown one behind him). I've also started sketching ideas for a kraken bookmark.
I need to set up an appointment with Beth to talk about my portraits since I've finished sketching Tolkien...then buy stretcher bars and put together some canvases. My goal is to have HP Lovecraft done or close to done by the end of the semester.
These are quite whimsical, I enjoy them.
And one final note, I've decided to participate in The Sketchbook Project 2011. Basically you choose a theme, they send you a sketchbook, you fill it with drawings related to the theme, then you send it back and it travels as part of a show around the country! I've chosen the theme "Dirigibles and Submersibles" to work with, which will be a challenge, but I'm hoping it will help get inspired for my capstone and perhaps something from this project can be incorporated into my capstone display somehow! I'm excited.
Chelsea, The Sketchbook Project sounds awesome! It to so neat to see all of your ideas, and I would love to see the sketchbook as well! The project seems to be coming along nicely.
