The Forest God

Daylight Star

Hi hi! Long time no post! I hope my professor, Christian, isn't bored to death because of this neglected blog, and is having a wonderful trip in china. :D

This is an art work I've been working on for quite some times, but was put aside because of a lot of school work. In this art work I was trying to capture the feeling of "daylight star". This drawing was inpsired by the song "Garden of Everything" (It's screaming, please free me from all the school work. haha jk)

I'm quite happy with the result of the colors, they look like how I wanted it to end up in my mind. I wanted her to feel like a goddess, and overwhelm the viewers. What do you think? Did I?

 

About the progress, I started off with a color splash. I wanted to quickly get down the colors I had in mind, or close to it. I always think it's really important to grasp on to that initial feeling of inspiration, because that's how life is born in art. >^< 

After grabbing the art's soul (lol), I went into black and white to pull out the contrast. After that, refining the figure and the chiffon. Finally, adding effects and making it pop. I hope you enjoyed it!

Project 3

"Both of them knew--in a way, it was never out of their minds that what was now happening could not last long. There were times when the fact of impending death seemed as palpable as the bed they lay on, and they would cling together with a sort of despairing sensuality, like a damned soul grasping at his last morsel of pleasure when the clock is within five minutes of striking. But there were also times when they had the illusion not only of safety but of permanence. So long as they were actually in this room, they both felt, no harm could come to them. Getting there was difficult and dangerous, but the room itself was sanctuary. It was as when Winston had gazed into the heart of the paperweight, with the feeling that it would be possible to get inside that glassy world, and that once inside it time could be arrested. Often they gave themselves up to daydreams of escape. Their luck would hold indefinitely, and they would carry on their intrigue, just like this, for the remainder of their natural lives. "
 -1984, George Orwell

Dreaming with Fishes

Dreaming with Fishes

Just keep swimming, swimming. X)

I had a dream where a giant city was collapsing. I was running with my brother away from the collision. Then water rushed into our fallen city, and the waves engulfed us. We escaped barely into a hole we found, and found ourselves among giants. There were two giant ancient fish, and my brother nearly got eaten. I knew in the dream that the two giant fish were arapaimas, and said to my brother they were harmless (except the part where he almost got eaten).
