Exercise: Editorial Illustration

Loves me , Loves me not

I picked loves me loves me not for the editorial illustration, i found this exercise really difficult because i essentially don't really understand what is required for an editorial illustration. i looked at alot of magazines and on-line and i didn't seem to find much of a common threat. some where portraits, characters, decorative. i did see that there was alot of graphic type with magazines so after a first scrapped attempt i went with that. 

Exercise: Your own work

Originally i created this for the editorial love me love me not , but thought it was to cute. i think it would be great as either decorative or maybe on a bag/button or tshirt. alot of my illustrations are good as decorative i think.

the below i think would be good as a magic card or maybe in a magazine like imagine fx, my tutor also suggested it could be niche for museums, maybe in a couple of years when my skill has improved.  I do enjoy mythology for ancient cultures.
