It's a Siren

This is a line drawing that I did for one of my class. The final result was supposed to be made using crow quill and ink. As for the narration, we are supposed to create a "before" or "after" story of one of Max Klinger's The Glove Series's illustrations. Five illustrations were given: Anxiety, Abduction, Rescue, Action, and Homage. I chose to create an "after" scene of Rescue.

Here's the image:
Max Klinger's "Rescue"


So, the concept behind my illustration is that the guy on the picture ended up being pulled into the sea by the glove (instead of him pulling out the glove). A Siren supposedly uses a glove (really tiny here and hanging on the stick that the drowning man is holding) as a bait to lure people and eat them. In this case, this guy is her next meal :)

Size: 16" x 9"

Here's the line drawing:
