A Very Unfortunate Portrait by ~rose-colligan: "This is just amazing: the textures, the art work framing the characters and the characters themselves make this a lovely and tender depiction that could should be a book cover!"

Description

Sunny, Violet and Klaus from the series of books A Series of Unfortunate Events.

I think what I love most about these books besides the amazing characters is the fact that the author is concerned about and critiques the notion of under-valueing and under-estimating the mind and awareness of the child. Something I feel is very important for illustration as well. I remember as a kid I used to love freaky, wierd illustrations in books. An obvious one to come to mind was Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. Children love this book, but it was initially shunned because it was deemed to frightening for them.

I love it that you used the design for the characters from the movie, but you actually made Klaus look like Klaus and not some gay hipster from the nineties. (Seriously, why didn't they give the actor at least fake glasses?)
