Marionettes, Inc. 1 / 傀儡公司 1

第三學期的作業之一是為老師選的四個文學作品作插畫,我選了雷布雷得貝利的短篇故事「傀儡公司」,內容有關兩位中年男子,想要暫時逃離婚姻的枷鎖,其中一位,布瑞林,訂作了和自己一模一樣的機器人,但最後分身愛上了他太太,他於是被分身取代。

One of the assignments this term is doing illustrations for one of the four pieces of literary works chosen by the tutors. I decide to illustrate Ray Bradbury's short story Marionettes, Inc. It's about two middle-aged men who would like to get away from their marriage. One of them, Braling, orders a robot which can take his place at home. However, Braling 2 eventually falls in love with his wife, and he thus replaces Braling.


我們可以選故事其中一個主題或一位主角做四張插圖,我的主題之一是婚姻,主角想從婚姻裡的位置逃開,但是當那個位置被佔走,卻又不知所措。

We can focus on one of the themes or characters to do four illustrations. One of my ideas is marriage. The characters want to escape from marriage, but when his place in marriage is taken by someone else, he feels threatened. 


我借用克林姆的「吻」作,就算最後沒有這個版本,我在過程中畫得很開心!

I derive inspirations from Klimt's Kiss. Even if I do not use this version in the end, at least I have much fun drawing the images.
