Ah, i love the colors on this piece. Very moody and eerie. LoL, i love how specific your prompt was. I'd smack my teacher if they did that to me. But this is really cool, her face and the hint of stripes on her legs are really nice.

no way! specific prompts like that are so fun. besides if you wanna be an illustrator you better believe you'll be asked by your client base to do really specific stuff all the time. thats like what they're trying to teach you by giving those assignments; you have the artistic liberty to interpret the prompt any way you want as long as all the specifications are in there...some of the other sentences for that assignment were even sillier, like "a crying child with a balloon shatters to pieces a raptor in a hallway" or "a sticky owl looks at a creature with long legs" or "a voodoo wizard attacks a creature with hooks" hehe.

LoL! A crying child with a balloon shatters to pieces a raptor in a hallway"? I would totally illustrate that one. But, you are right. My teachers really aren't that specific though, maybe they need to be? Normally our assignments consist of "Draw a piece using light as key character/player in the story". or "illustrate a piece to go along with this article about children growing up in the ghetto with a bad education." It's less specific, WAAAAAAY less specific. I think they're trying to excercise our own concepts and designs, rather than illustrating the concepts of others.

THough a lot of my classmates fail at the concepts part, but if they're TOLD what to do, they're fine. I think it's a total give and take. You need to be good at making others ideas visual, or creating your own ideas.

yeah our school's illustration program focuses a lot on concept too, in certain classes. like there's a concept art class which i'm totally taking next year. but they also want us to learn to take orders and follow the directions of "clients" which for now are assignments, because they feel it's important that we learn to take directions seriously down the line when and if we get real jobs. but a lot of kids in the illustration department are really good at executing these really specific assignments where there's a lot of instructions as far as what has to be in the image, but when they get an assignment where they can exercise their creativity and do a lot of conceptual stuff they're totally bad at it and they get stuck without lots of instructions. you gotta be good at both, though personally i think coming up with creative concepts with minimal instruction from a client/assignment is way more important.

reminds me of something one of the freakish hick well people would do in my town...

Love how you seperated the foreground from the background with the color usage.
