I knew early on that I wanted the postcard to mainly feature a cool-toned palette. I think it conveys the creepy/haunted feeling I wanted to get across really nicely. really glad my partner came in partway through and suggested I remove the puff sleeves to stay true to the line of action of the original sketch. I knew something felt 'off' and sometimes you need another pair of eyes to help you see what you keep overlooking (resisting the urge to turn this into a pithy life lesson).
as usual, I listened to music while working on these pieces and visited my middle school playlist for the appropriate vibes. some of the songs that inspired me:
âȘ the transition / hawthorne heights
âȘ ohio is for lovers / hawthorne heights
âȘ breathe / breaking benjamin
âȘ the carpal tunnel of love / fall out boy
