IF - Neighbor






Esta é a minha proposta para o desafio Illustration Friday desta semana - vizinho. Nunca tinha ilustrado este tema e diverti-me com várias ideias (como a das aranhas, mais abaixo), mas esta foi aquela de que gostei mais. Mesquitas na vizinhança de igrejas católicas ou ortodoxas são hoje em dia algo comum por toda a Europa. Contudo, por vezes ainda há vales que é preciso atravessar. Ambas as ilustrações foram feitas com aguarelas e depois levaram um ligeiro toque com o filtro cartoon do Gimp.

This is my entry for this week's topic of Illustration Friday - neighbor. I had never illustrated this theme and had fun with several ideas (like the spiders one below) but I liked this one best. Neighbouring mosques and catholic or orthodox churches are now a common sight across Europe. Sometimes, though, there are still valleys that need to be crossed. Both illustrations were rendered with watercolours and then had a slight cartoon filter touch with Gimp.

  3. Good idea for the theme. Would be nice if these things were closer. I'm sure both religious institutions have spiders!
