Short Story Illustration

I had an assignment in one of my classes in which I had to choose a short story and create a book cover for it as if it were a novel.  I like the way the drawings turned out, so I thought I'd post it.

Sketch designing the figure for the front cover.

The short story is "Sea Oak" by George Saunders.  A strange dark comedy in which a poor family's nice old aunt comes back to life as a very cynical undead.

Braaainz...

That awkward moment when your
aunt comes back to life.
