Artist Models Part 1

Looking at a few artist models for this one, whilst still wanting to remain true to myself as an illustrator, I figured I could pull influence from a few places to really heighten the message I was trying to achieve. I first started looking at Otto Schmidt, he's a recent discovery of mine as he has been illustrating recent editions of my favourite comic series (Figures 1&2). Upon further research he has drawn influence from  Alphonse Mucha (Figure 3), which lead me down a path of discovery to one of my new favourite artists! I took inspiration from Mucha in terms of texture, pattern and colour (Figures 4&5).
