i had this idea for a while, the play of light and shadow is fascinating when observed in movement, and i love the idea of semi-transparency and all that.
the whole concept is based on cloth with printed, contrasting template. i got really interested in artistic graphics last year, i'm a craftsman so doing stuff by hand is definitely my thing, and making molds was really cool. since this year i don't have that subject anymore i wanted to do something my myself, for myself this once. plus i really wanted to have something big, new for my portfolio.
i like doing stuff on my own so this was a real pleasure even though it was so time and work consuming.
i started of with some loose sketches of the cloths and the patterns i wanted. i love the idea of octopus tentacles in graphics (i have no idea why, it has been a running theme in my art) so i started with that (curse this, the suction things were a bitch to make). i was struggling to think of other nature inspired patterns but it worked out.
i have an octopus, trees, coral and fern. each made twice, mirrored for both sides of the model.
and for good measure i did some model sketches
i wasn't sure about the last one
and i want to use my pad more so:
this is the beginning, my inspirations. the making is coming.
this has been your monday dose of artistic motivation, you can do it!
love,
qofr
happy new year!
