Theory Illustrations

I wanted to take this project with a Illustration aproach so I decided to create Illustration interpretation on theories on what people use to believe stars were from greek and indian mythology.

 

 

From ancient Indian believes there was a common theory of stars being giant crystals/diamonds in the sky, this is where the nursery rhyme originates from.

 

I like the comecial concept of this illustrastion and using a combination of heavens mythology and what stars are to create an element of fantasy in this and then surported with the stick characters with no facial features.

 

 

 

 

This theory is from Greek mythology and the belief was that the night sky was a giant greek bowl hoovering over the world filled with holes that the gods had poked in to watch down on man.

 

I also like the ridiculousness of this illustration using a common china plate you would find in any household and once again using combination of heaven being above the plate and the earth being flat to once again reinforce the fantasy element.
