B for Berenice - Edgar Allan Poe Alphabet
This is one of my illustrations for a book called "Edgar Allan Poe alphabet". It was a study task to make an alphabet of something (I study book graphics and illustration, so the result of this task would be a whole book with text, pictures, etc) and I've decided to choose my favourite author. The original alphabet is in Russian, so it sometimes do not fit the English one, that is why some letters will be unused or used more than once. I'm still working on it, thinking of how to make a cover and really enjoing reading his poems and novels again.
"...The eyes were lifeless, and lustreless, and seemingly pupilless, and I shrank involuntarily from their glassy stare to he contemplation of the thin and shrunken lips. They parted; and in a smile of peculiar meaning, the teeth of the changed Berenice disclosed themselves slowly to my view. Would to God that I had never beheld them, or that, having done so, I had died!.."
"...With a shriek I bounded to the table, and grasped the box that lay upon it. But I could not force it open; and in my tremor, it slipped from my hands, and fell heavily, and burst into pieces; and from it, with a rattling sound, there rolled out some instruments of dental surgery, intermingled with thirty-two small, white and ivory-looking substances that were scattered to and fro about the floor."
