The Light in the Graveyard

 I did this piece after a visit to Sleepy Hollow a few weeks back.
Below is the completed piece, along with a detail.

Chelsea Ships

When I go out during my lunch break to Chelsea Market, I make sure I stop and look towards the river. You never know what you'll see happening.

Every so often, large sailboats go by.

Once it was the Space Shuttle.

Attack on Titan

I made this piece after watching a marathon of a show called, "Attack on Titan".
I'm a little too into that show now so I thought I'd try and work it out of my system with this guy.
Recently, I've been heavily focused on my work for Dorkly so I thought I'd branch out and get back into my ol' groove.

Prints Available, as always.

Zelda Infinite (spoilers)

(This post contains spoiler for Bioshock Infinite. I will post spoiler free and textless panels before the full comic if you want to avoid any spoilers)

I recently did a comic for Dorkly combining Zelda and Bioshock Infinite. This was a lot of fun to play around with seeing as I'm such a fan of both games.

This was also fun for me artistically since this leaned more towards my illustration work.

Textless / spoiler free panels first followed by the comic. To see the comic on the site, please go to Dorkly.com.

As always, if you wish to ask about a print of any of these images, please e-mail me at JuliaLepetitArt@gmail.com

The Boys of Silence

I've been playing a lot of Bioshock Infinite recently. It's awesome.
It manages to be dark and moody with bright happy colors.
My favorite enemies you encounter though are the so very creepy "Boys of Silence". In an attempt to capture their eerie ascetic, I did a quick sketch that turned into an exercise that turned into a full blown illustration.

The Hobbit / Lord of the Ring PSA Posters

I made some more PSA posters for Dorkly.com! This time, we did it on The Hobbit / Lord of the Rings. Andrew Bridgman and Caldwell Tanner wrote them and I designed / drew them.

Check out the rest of the posters here (on dorkly.com)!

He Said He Had a Story

Big fan of the band "The Dear Hunter".

This is an illustration I did for "He Said He Had a Story".

Smoke

There
ariseth a
little cloud
out of the
sea, like a
man's hand
-1 Kings

 This quote marked the beginning of chapter 10 in The Amber Spyglass.

Amber Spyglass: Iorik and Will

Here's an illustration of Will and Iorik in the beginning of the Amber Spyglass.

Videogame Travel Posters 2

I recently did another round of Videogame Travel Posters! To see them all, go to the article here (found at Dorkly)

Experiment with shapes: Will Parry

Trying something new. This is just a preview for what is to come. I'm kind of digging where this is going. Of course I did this little experiment with my favorite literary character, Will Parry.

Journey: Existential Crisis

About two weeks ago I played the game "Journey" by Thatgamecompany. It was amazing. Up there in my top 5 favorite games along with Shadow of the Colossus.

Here's my comic for Journey that I did for Dorkly. Details follow.

For those of you that might want individual panels for desktop backgrounds or if you'd like a print of one (or all) of the panels, please e-mail me at:

The Language of Ghosts

I'm not sure if there is already a book named the Language of Ghosts but it's something I made up to reflect things that are happening in my life currently.
I imagined this as a book jacket cover obviously.

Sufjan Stevens: Age of Adz

I did a mock up for my favorite album, Sufjan Stevens' "Age of Adz".

This was also a fun piece to make since I made the font by hand.

Long Island

I decided to try a new style. This is inspired by Long Island and that fact that I miss the summer.

Prints available as always.

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

If you personally know me, you know I'm a bit obsessive about the Legend of Zelda series. Skyward Sword didn't really help that obsession. I love that as the games go one, Zelda gets more and more of a personality. (Also that Link and Zelda are close friends)

In this piece, I tried to play with bright colors more (though I may go back in and use my earthy tone pallet just to try it out).

Prints are available as always.

Hunger Games: Posters

I made some campaign posters for the Hunger Game sides.

Prints are available as always.

Amber Spyglass: The great death

My favorite book of all time, by far, without contest, is Philip Pullman's "The Amber Spyglass". I love everything about it. I love this book so much that I was convinced that I'd never illustrate it because there's just too many things I'd want to do. (If you haven't read the book and don't want things spoiled, skip the next paragraph.)

However, a scene from from the book is probably a good place to start. If you've read the book you'd probably recognize the scene as the death of Metatron. I chose this scene for a number of reasons. Firstly, it is one of the most identifiable scenes. Secondly, the scene was incredibly powerful. Thirdly, the complexity of Mrs. Coulter's character astounds me and this scene confuses me the most with her character, which is what I believe she is meant to do, confuse you.

I've included details of this piece for once.

Sleeps Worries

This was just something I sketched out the other day.

Hades

I decided to branch away from books and video games for a little bit.
Here's a piece on Hades; god of the dead. Included are pomegranates for the tie in with Persephone.

This piece is available as a print.
