Jessie Lastre's "Frida Tracy"


For this project, I was inspired by my favorite artist Frida Kahlo. Frida typically portrayed herself as "manly" which is why I thought she would be perfect for this part. I took most of my inspiration from one of her more feminine self portraits. Aside from that, I wanted to keep the original look of Dick Tracy and kept the color scheme used on the Warren Beatty film posters. I primarily used the pen tool to help keep with the comic book look and feel. I believe I was successful in my attempts.

You did an amazing job on using this style for dick tracy. However the text is a little bit far from the image maybe try overlapping the text with the image. Other than that I really like how you did it the colors are really nice, bold and clean cut.
