Empire Records (1995): Portraits

Four characters from the film, developed as a focused study in expression and color using Procreate. The series originated as a brush test and evolved into a concise character set. The project references the film’s 1990s setting and its ensemble cast, including early roles by Liv Tyler, Renée Zellweger, Robin Tunney, and Ethan Embry.
