Finishing up some stuff before am homeless bum in a couple months.

May 03, 2022, 10:29:26 PM

Another piece finished up. It's been sitting in limbo for a couple years. Difficult to work on. My homeless buddy who OD'd. Parents didn't want her even after finding out she was dead. Remember how all of it made me feel so fucking hopeless. That it seemed like nobody gave a shit but me in the capacity that I could.

I'd rather remember her for the time shared, who she was without the drugs. Played music, wanted to always be traveling, taught me the basics of sleight of hand magic tricks for show. She was a good person.

Learned some new tricks. First time in a while that I've made something specifically focusing on my own feelings about something.

Who knows why I'm drawn to skeletal figures. A test of my blending tricks and getting a thing outta my head that's been rattling around for a year.

I've been wanting to do some work on Dark Souls stuff for a gorillion years, figured I finally had the skill to give it a go.

A drawing I did of my friend's son:

Between all the shit goings on I've been putting work in. The first picture was experiment involving metallic reflections, and the second was the theory I took from the first picture. Overlay photographs over 3d models for a surreal but not too uncanny valley effect.

While not what I'd consider clean or finished, it's proof enough for me that I'm on to something interesting.

The really short explanation? I accidentally learned how to hybridize my artwork in pixel-ish artwork. It's pretty bitchin' for a lot of reasons I'm too lazy to elaborate about.

Thanks boss. May as well drop an update. I searched and studied an art brokerage over the winter. I've decided it's time to go heavyweight. I've created a piece that's 7800 by 5000 pixels. Translates into roughy six feet across and four/five feet tall on canvas. I'm going to have to shrink it since the printing place I use doesn't even fit that size.

I'm doing the final edits on it now, but I'm going to print it, put it up on the brokerage and drop a 12-10k price tag for it. I won't know if I don't try. The final edit will probably take me weeks or months. But here's the prototype.

Working at pixel level artwork taught me a trick that can be used on bigger pictures that can give things a sketchy/brush stroke look but retain 90% of the detail. I can stitch most imagery rather easily as well, and the resulting overlay process gives it an effect that blends or deepens light in such a way that I can't explain. This picture to me feels like the most "alive" picture I've ever made.

I did some tinkering in order to refine the brush stroke process and I took a challenge. There's a scene in the book The Cole Protocol where a spartan with no ammo left is facing thousands of grunts and she uses a mongoose as bludgeon until it falls apart. Always wanted to make a scene, gave it a shot now that I've got the skill for it.

I accidentally found a way to convert my art related stuff into cleaner pixel art formats and created 4 distinct styles. Technically speaking, if I wanted to I could overlay all four pictures into one super combined layer, but I feel like the possibility of four separate styles is useful for thematic tone. These pictures aren't cleaned up, just examples of how easily the come to within 90% of clean pixel art or lines.

Number 3 in particular catches my eye because it preserves color pallets while producing a comic book feel with the thick blacks, while needing minimal post editing.
