The final work was in three parts. First, we had to look for a painting that pleased our eye with the colors. I chose an ancient Egyptian painting of a vulture from someone's tomb. Then, we needed to take the colors and create something of our own, something that could be from our respective lines of work. I wanted to keep the vulture, but no. Even the stripes are from there. And the balls. I guess I'm too neurotic for this.
Anyways, we had to keep the proportions of colors, hence the black-blue (which my camera blew again) being dominant. We had to then paint that, either with gouache/watercolors, or acrylics. I obviously went for the acrylics and cried blood how others treated the paints and the brushes. Also flipped off when they shook our desks.
The third part was to show a new side of the said design and place it in a normal environment.
I chose to depict the corner, which shows it has more of that clay red, close up of the fuzzy ball and of course, our cat.
The original photo was taken by Ian Cameron, he takes wonderful pictures, I actually had two of his photos as options, but teacher and I came to a conclusion this had more challenge over bluescale winter picture. This was hard as hell and believe me, looks better from afar and without the model image. Acrylics on watercolor paper.
Random ass name, I don't like Star Trek, I'm more of Star Wars kinda girl. Anyway, we had to make an abstract painting with different shades. We were told to plan it carefully. I didn't. This isn't even close to my original plan, I just painted slabs with minimal attempt to make it look like a tunnel. Failed, but I don't care. Honestly, I simply don't care.
We had to make this as accurate as we could. I just had to add the black details. Simply had to. At least it stood out. Also, we were once again, have to use watercolors in arts class, I went all fuck the police again with few others and used gouache. She didn't mention it. I win.
Part of my future Sasori of the Red Sand cosplay. Preferably I need to finish it before Kitacon 2013 in March, if I'm not mistaken. It would be awesome to pull off. I'm exactly the same height as Sasori and I find the costume a challenge to pull off with my limited resources. Anyways, the scroll paper isn't all that nice, it's wallpaper. I was have to measure and cut bags out of rolls and rolls of wallpaper and one brand was particularly perfect for these at the workshop.
Painted on panorama paper. Believe it or not, that is not ink, but acrylic. I used very little paint and very much water and could have done that for hours on end.
Hold me when I´m standing
when i´ve fallen,
we´re disbanding
You are so goddamn beautiful, but
Unstable, your joke got
old.
Sick one trick pony
you fed my fire,
Now I´m rising ever
higher
And the red ripples multiply as
reflections rise from the
sea
From the sea
Take away
the pain inflected on me The hunger you´re letting me feed
I bleed my rust on the roses that once
have chained us, me to you Your dying love is a rose I will bury
somewhere close to you
When we are dancing
I hear worlds,
you're still fading
I feel safe, yet unsatisfied
Soaked in trance and
disgrace
You are so jaded, keep me sedated
with your nonsense, deeds
and phrases
and if suns still set in your eyes
you get to see my face
glow
Take away the pain inflected on
you
The hunger you´re letting me feed
Bleed my
rust on the roses that once have chained us, me to
you
Your dying love is a rose I will bury, somewhere close to
you
You- bleed your rust on
the roses that once have chained us, me to you Your dying love
is a rose I will bury somewhere close to you I bleed my rust
on the roses that once have chained us, me to you Your dying love
is a rose I will bury somewhere close to you
A technique I picked up from YouTube. Get some paint in a straw, drop it on the paper and blow to spread with the straw. You can get wonderful trees and bushy plants with it, if the paint is slick, wet and thin. You can't do many of these though. Dizzy...
Two differently taken pictures of the same painting. Based on three different songs, two of which are mine. This was up on our wall in our previous dorm room. Selene has slain Amaterasu, under the blood red moon.
Huge 50x60 paintings that create night and day of Greek mythology. I will be adding drawings of gods and goddesses on this, few of them are ready. Metallic, glossy and matt acrylics were used.
