One thing that I’ve been annoying everyone who will listen to me is how Dune (2021) has MAJOR year 24 shoujo manga vibes in its solemnity and sumptuousness…I’ll write about my thoughts more eventually but for now I had to do a vintage manga style cover. This style is pretty tricky! I wanted to imitate the look of traditional media with the sort of funky retro watercolor/airbrush look of the various cover art I’d seen by Moto Hagio and Keiko Takemiya. Maybe I’ll try some more things in this concept… [ID: a digital watercolor manga styled illustration of Paul Atreides and Chani from Dune 2021. Chani’s face is in the sky surrounded by purple and blue background and splatter-effect stars with an airbrush border. She has light brown skin, wavy brown hair, and blue sclera and irises. Paul stands in front smaller in the foreground in his stillsuit and cloak holding a knife. He has dark wavy hair. the larger of the two moons is behind his head halo-style. Behind him is the desert and rocky landscape. There is white airbrush streaks surrounding the image in the shape of double-helixes /end ID]
I love making self indulgent corruption arcs purely for the villain outfits ❤️🔥
