Titus Andronicus

OK so this is probably the creepiest drawing I've done yet. If your familiar with this play you probably know that it's pretty heavy. Toward the end of the play Tamora and her two sons Demetrius and Chiron disguise themselves as the spirits of Revenge, Rape, and Murder. These are my personifications of them. Hopefully you can guess which is which. For this piece I wanted to be cartoony yet gruesome. I think I was pretty successful with that. I made revenge the puppet master of rape and murder. In this story murder and rape are tools of revenge and Tamora used her sons as tools for revenge as well. All in all this is a really creepy poster. I think I'm gonna draw something light-hearted and whimsical now.
