Inktober #17 Sweet 17

Share

Just tried to make a not so stereotypical displacement of the common phrase.

But go beyond the numbers if you like - there's more to it! A meaning as deep as the succubi-like sweetness about to totalitarianly overtake this bitter coffee brew! Unless coffee's not your cup of tea.

Cyberdevil responds:

But the sugar... the sugar... the euphoric blast of heated sweetness...

Complex

Well this one was very "COMPLEX" and different and it could have a whole other meaning but I don't understand the sugarcubes too much, is that a toothpick inside holding it, where did the "TOOTHPICK" come from? Why did this get build? So many questions, but I do like the "GREEN-CUP" and details in the cubes so you know they are made of sugar. The main thing that bothers me about this one here is the white space and overall use of so much white that the green stands out almost too much. I would add a wood table of sorts or something to take away from all this white and white space going on in here.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Take away the white space and color the table in to look like a wood table

Cyberdevil responds:

Yeah that's a toothpick. :) It's an attempt at realism - the prerequisite for making those sugar cubes take on this particular form without collapsing, and better than glue since that's in part just difficult to draw and with factored in reality probably not good to have in your cup of coffee either! XD It's 'Sweet 17', you know?

Hmm white space there is, though I don't quite mind the whiteness... starting to think we might have different views on backdrop simplicity. When focus is on the motive I feel a white backdrop works well. It's neutral. Doesn't give or take, like a backlight that lights up the image.
