I had a lot of fun designing this iconic creature, Cetus. Leaning into the serpentine design, I chose to use the curves to my advantage in the composition to draw the eye up to the focal point of the central conflict. As an illustrator, I'm always trying to challenge myself with new and challenging compositions, which can surprise the viewer and create a "playground" for the eye to wander through. Shapes, spot colors, and values all have a hand in leading the eye through the hierarchy of levels of importance. Solving this puzzle is endlessly fascinating for the artist.
