Henry Illustration

This is my illustration of the main character Henry. I have adapted his original hair style and added some locks to make it look like the fairy tale illustration style. Below is the original source footage I used to create the illustration and the slideshow of the fairy tale illustration as a comparison. The idea behind creating the illustrations is linking the title sequence back to the storybook and fairy tales which form the flip-side of the main, real life story. The fairy tales are the central part of the show (Once Upon a Time) around which all characters and stories revolve around. Each character has a fairy tale and a real life version of themselves. Which is why I am putting both versions next to each other in the title sequence to symbolise that. Henry is the only character that only exists in the real world. It is his idea that this parallel fairy tale world exists, which makes him in a way the storyteller. He is part of the story, yet detached from it, which is why he will be depicted in a different way than the other characters in the title sequence.
