Illustrations that didn’t make the cut

April 19, 2021April 21, 2021 | Cynthia De La Torre

I wanted to include some cut paper art illustrations that I created, in the last couple of years, to practice new techniques, create new characters, or just keep creating. These didn’t make the cut to be part of my portfolio or they have been replaced by new illustrations.

They are listed by date.

January Illustrations – Little Nia

February 10, 2020July 19, 2021 | Cynthia De La Torre

One of my goals for this year was to create at least one portfolio piece a month. I wanted to challenge myself by adding variety to my portfolio, in terms of composition, perspective, and theme.

For this month, my goal was to create at least one illustration that showed my characters in a different angle than what I normally would illustrate.

Laboratory Light Box

The Swamp Creature’s Frankenstein Laboratory

Edgar, the swamp creature (as his parents had nicknamed him), was a lonely creature. He was born to normal people, but right from the start, it was clear he was not normal. His body began transforming into something hideous, not like any human his family had seen before. His family came from wealth and prestige, and if anyone found out they had created a monster, it would be the end of them. Therefore, they hid him away in their basement.
Edgar made the best of a terrible situation and soon became obsessed with Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. He turned his basement into a shrine to Frankenstein. His only real friends are his imaginary friend, Mary Shelley, the skeleton he keeps in his closet, and the reanimated cat that he pieced together with the good parts from dead cats. His goal in life is to one day reanimate a person and have it be his companion.
This light box was created during Drawlloween 2018.
