Smile For Me Corkboard

I have participated in the online art trade battle known as "Art Fight" for the past 8 years. In 2021, I recently finished the game "Smile For Me", which had a scene with a corkboard made by the main antagonist. I discovered that many people had made their own original characters within the world of Smile For Me, and so I decided to create a version of the corkboard but with other people's characters.
This project required me to drawn in a different art style to mimic the style of the game itself, as well as the multimedia element of printing out each drawing and taping together the photos, yarn, and notes. I made many design decisions as to how to balance the final piece visually, but my favorite detail is that the photo in the middle (an OC of the main protagonist) is crossed out using yarn.
This project took around two weeks from conception to finish.

Link to the final collage of the "attack" drawing was posted onto Art Fight, which also links to each person's character that I used. Art Fight requires an account to see things.
