Any Scorpios in the audience? Working on this horoscope assignment I discovered that Scorpio is "The Detective of the Zodiac, unraveling mysteries is your forte and passion". I suggest you all become film noir detectives, like this lovely lady! (what! role-reversal!)
This was my 3rd horoscope assignment for Vegas magazine. With the detective imagery in the article I thought of film noir immediately, but I had done vaguely medieval/magical illustrations for the other horoscopes and I wasn't sure if it'd be too much of a departure. For my sketches I did one medieval/magical seeress (with a scrying bowl for detective work) to fit in with the rest of the images, and also the film noir lady. I am happy we went with the film noir theme after all, I enjoyed working on this one a lot.
Have a happy Thanksgiving everyone! I'm going to STUFF MY FACE and I hope you all do too! Yay!

I'm a scorpio, and yeah I love figuring out things and unraveling mysteries. ;)
Great illustration, they would both have been good possibilities!

I'm a Scorpio and I'm a nasty, secretive...Nah, I'm OK.
Amazing piece!
Kali! This is really lovely. The palette is super-nice.
Nice work Kali! I wish all horoscopes were this full of intrigue.
You guys are all the best, thank you!
Brun & Eric- as Scorpios, this article suggests "Taking time to gaze at the glistening night sky does wonders for your penetrating mind" but also "Remember that you are mysterious and make a conscious effort to reach out to those around you." Wise words, indeed. ;)
Annie- Haha, when I was looking at the sketch in B&W I was like "hey wait a minute..." Glad you like how it turned out.
Owen- I wish all my editorial assignments were this full of intrigue, too!
This is Awesome Kali, love the way you've blocked in the blacks.
