Sophia Kolokouri

This is yet another artist I found through an IFX magazine. I find her work very aesthetically appealing as she uses a very photo-realistic style and she's got a really good eye for colour. Like the last artist I looked at, she also enjoys drawing animals and the female form. Her work is very fantasy themed as well.

'The Lady Bird' by Sophia Kolokouri

I was particularly drawn to her work by because of this piece called 'The Lady Bird'.  I'm just so compelled by this image; the proportions are just so well balanced and I especially love the dashes of red in the feathers. It's beautiful executed and it's also a great example of crossing the animal form with the human. I was thinking of possibly looking to create more of a inhuman being after looking into the Egyptian Gods/Goddesses.

As well as being an illustrator she's also an animator so it was nice to look at some of her character concept work for the cartoons she's created in the past. All of which you can find at this website: http://mysideworld.com/
