As a project in World Lit class, we had to do some sort of visual representation of the book The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. And so...ta-da!

Nicely done! The crosshatching and composition is very reminiscent of Kuper's adaptation of the Metamorphosis. Even some elements make me think of Van Gogh with spirals and the like, giving this piece a schizophrenic assumption of Samsa's feelings of having the mind of a man while stuck with the appearance of a giant cockroach. You pulled the story of nicely within one image.

This was one of my favorite stories when I was younger.. you've captured the classic Kafkan existential terror quite well, I'd say. Beautiful.

This is one insect that doesn't make me cringe. Amazing ness!

It reminds me of that dude. You know, that guy from Courage the Cowardly Dog. Ummm what's his name? He's always wearing a suit.

Mmm! He reminds me a bit of the Flan dude. Except with a bit of a different face.

Well, N E WAYS, great job! The lines are magnifico.

The flan guy? HAHA, I...wait...uh...how... Oh, because he's round, right?
As for the other character...that fly guy? Oh man, I totally forgot about him! He was so awesome. Courage was the greatest cartoon ever. It was creepy as hell and so damn creative.
Anyway, thanks!

Mmm totally. The fly guy is like...win. xDDDDD Major win.

Courage was my favorite show when I was little. It still plays once in a while, too.

Omg I just remembered one of my favorite episodes. The one with uhh that song "It's a Gerbil's World" XDD It was implanted in my brain forever xD
