I circle around once again to Minotaurs – with ‘willing’ life models gathered online, I’m sketching my naked mythical creatures
You’ll noticed the body types I picked aren’t monsters, and they are weirdly aesthetic – I’ve changed the proportions a bit so they’re not quite human. I also gave them cows heads, which is the main thing.
One highland cow cross and one sacred Indian cow – I spent a lot of time on Pinterest looking for cow models that had character and sympathy.
The working title is ‘analog’ – which I thought meant ‘off and on’ or negative and positive.
adjectiveadjective: analog
- relating to or using signals or information represented by a continuously variable physical quantity such as spatial position, voltage, etc.”analogue signals”
- a person or thing seen as comparable to another.”an interior analogue of the exterior world”
from Greek analogon, neuter of analogos ‘proportionate’.
But I’m going with the thing comparable to another, and the Greek proportionate – I’m going for a feeling here, no time to explain.
I want to see if I can mimic the below art style – I’ve spent a lot of time staring at this weirdly elaborate pornography. I have no idea what medium it is, it looks like a watercolour original mass printed onto low quality paper. Or maybe it’s a printing process that layers up colour. I don’t know. Buts it’s cute
One hour into working on this, I’ve already over complicated it so they’re looking too realistic, but also not real at all because of the proportions (and cow heads) – It’s a watercolour style base, with grit texture colours to layer the tones up
I currently find them a little unnerving to look at – which is excellent, I’m totally there for this. More on this as I progress
