Art 44

Discovered some new (new to me) music - Fever Ray. Brilliantine, shadowy, somehow air and earth at the same time. Contradictory, I guess. And cool. The few accompanying video clips I've seen so far are amazing, too. This one is Stranger Than Kindness:



I love the feeling that it's a piece of story, that there's a beginning and an end - an explanation - somewhere we can't see.


Meanwhile... I finally got around to doing a little more work on a texture I've been making for Second Life. The octopus one, remember? As referenced in this post. Quite pleased with how it's turning out.

Look, i figured out where to put the trident!

I'm also trying* to finish something in time for Xmas. I've planned two different things - a slightly creepy picture, and a sort of slick, modish one. Both digital photo-collages. Have made progress on the slightly creepy one so far. Creepy... actually, I find it amusing. It's called Christmas Is Coming To Get you, and features a kind of Xmas golem.
*-sort of. It's possible I'm a little lazy and/or distracted.

The snow-covered pines are sourced from morguefile, a lovely free photo reference place.
I haven't started the slick, modish one yet, which is a little unfortunate, given that i was planning to use it as xmas cards this year.

That's it for now. I'll try to post again before Xmas!

So! I've been working a little more on that texture thing for Second Life. For the undersea grotto door. Yesss. I don't know where to put the trident. And of course it has to have a trident.

An older version can be seen in this post. Still very rough, of course.










Still, still, still working on the cryptomnesia piece (just over 300 pieces left to import), and also on those quadrilateral Koch snowflakes. I keep forgetting to take a photo of my repaired handbag!

Art 10

First up, the World of Darkness inspired sketches. Took about ten minutes for both. (With apologies for the photo quality. One day I'll get a proper camera, one day...)

There's something coming out of the sky, see?

Subway zombies. I like this one a lot.


And this is the costume mask. I'm actually quite pleased with this photo.

The black swirly marks were done by my sister with a Sharpie. There are smudges of red and black lipstick, too - the make up I wore underneath the mask (because I didn't want to wear the mask the whole night).
