j - death of dr jeykll illustration

During the final chapters of the book, Henry Jeykll commits suicide to prevent Edward Hyde from killing again. The way he kills himself is unexplained to I decided to leave my illustration grim, dark and obvious yet uneplanitory as to how he has actually killed himself. I thought maybe with the red and blue blood/ooze pouring out of his mouth and nose that the audience could initially interpret how he died.

The red and blue blood/liquid also shows all of Edward and Henry's signature colours running out of him, showing his life draining out of him.


His glasses, which are usually blue, are now red, which is the colour I associated with Edward Hyde. His glasses changing colour actually shows that Edward Hyde has committed his last murder.
