EP: George's Legacy

I've finally decided to continue work on my Tory Chums strips beyond Context of Practice, which entails responding to current political news stories. My goal is to produce enough to make a book to send to publishers, or create as a small press project.

Recently there has been a news story about China's construction of a golden Chairman Mao statue in an impoverished part of the country. This was met with strong criticism globally and the statue was eventually taken down. I imagine that wouldn't be the case should George Osborne build a statue of himself, regardless of criticism, he would continue building.

Initially I coloured the piece by filling it with flat colours first and shading over, which can be seen here;



However I felt this didn't really work well as it came across as amateurish, so reverted to the colouring technique I adopted for the final outcome of my CoP3 work. This gave a less digital feel to the piece, improving the visual quality greatly.
