The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse - 3D Illustration
Jean de Ls Fontain's fable The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse presented in the form of a 3-dimensional illustration. I chose the scene where mice are running away from the rattle at the door. I reimagined that scene as if it is happening in the book and the characters are running off of an illustration showing a foot of a lady of a house that is standing by the little plates and breadcrumbs left on the carpet.
The project is a result of an illustration class
