Illustrer noe

I want to present a gift to my school. I want it to be an poster with a illustration in good quality.

The story is from the famous norwegian authour Henrik Ibsen and the story is taken from the surroundings of our school 200 years ago. (Lunde, Telemark, Norway)

-Start of story:

"I well remember, many years ago,

During the war, one morning a Conscription

Was held at Lunde. Every one was full

Of Norway's troubles and her doubtful future.

Behind a table, I remember, sat

A Captain and the Mayor, and several Sergeants ;

And one by one our lads came in, were measured,

Enrolled, and duly sworn in to the army.

The room was full ; and outside in the courtyard

Was heard the noise of the young people's laughter.

A name was called out, and a lad came in

With face as white as snow upon the hilltops.

They told him to come forward to the table.

His right hand was all swathed up in a napkin ;

He gasped and swallowed tried to find his voice

But seemed as if he had no words to answer

The Captain's questions. Still, at last, he did ;

And then, with crimson face and faltering tongue

That sometimes let the words out with a rush,

He mumbled some tale of an accident

A reaping-hook that slipped and cut his finger

Clean off his hand. There was a sudden silence.

Men exchanged glances ; lips were curled in scorn ;

Looks of disdain were flashed upon the lad,

Who stood there staring with unseeing eyes ;

He felt their scorn although he did not see it.

And then the Captain, an old grey-haired man,

Stood up, and spat, and pointed to the door

And said : " Begone ! " and so the lad went out.

Those in the room divided to make way,

So that he ran the gauntlet of them all.

He reached the door, and then took to his heels ;

Ran up the hillside through the woods and pastures,

Up over rocks and stones, stumbling and slipping

To where his home was, far up in the mountains. "

-End of story:

I want to make an illustration of this situation and the illustration should contain the following:

-The man with his right hand covered in a piece of clothing - (he should be illustrated as a proud man).

-The angry captain.

-An angry and suprises sergant.

-The table.

-Supprised people watching.

-Other details (the artist will choose some details of his/her own choice - that is representative of this period of time).

-It should be in black/white made with pencil (or should look like a pencil drawing)

-All clothing and details should look like it was in Norway 200 years ago.

-The result should be e-mailed to me in a high quality .jpg and .pdf file.

I have attached som illustrations that local artist have made of this text earlier. It should not be copied, but can be an inspiration.....

You can find more inspiration from this period of time in Norway here: [url removed, login to view]

The price should include 1 sketch that I will approve. Then we will make a final copy in high quality. The illustration should be in the same style as the attached documents.
