The Veldt -Ray Bradbury











** These are a work in progress and are not quite finished yet.

We were asked to design 4 characters from the story by Ray Bradbury entitled "The Veldt." The story is set in the 1950s and is about a family that owns an automated house that does just about everything for them. The children, a boy, Peter and a girl, Wendy, aged 10, particularly like their Nursery, which simulates anything they think of virtually.

The father, George, eventually walks in on the children contemplating the African veldt, seeing its violent nature of lions attacking and vultures swooping, he threatens to shut down the Nursery. Before this could happen, a psychologist, David McClean, is brought on, to observe the childrens' behavior and the Nursery. In the end, the kids trick their parents into entering the Nursery when the Veldt is being contemplated, and the lions consume them. Not long after the vultures in the Veldt also consume the psychologist.

Cow Drawings



I decided to revisit my cow drawings and color one up for my portfolio.
