Sweet jesus is that something...(sure looks like barrel of fun)
Continuing uploading last year art.
This piece of art was the most interesting commission piece I was asked to make.
The person who commissioned me (https://twitter.com/Joshiematt) gave me 4 images with different abstract shapes and textures as references for a character that I had to design and draw based on the inspiration from those references.
The images were:
At first I thought of something inorganic and cold, distant, almost alien. I thought it might be a robot or some sort of machine. But my partner Kongret gave me an idea of a cosmic being close to it's death, surrounded by beautiful and distant nebulae. He also thought of the composition of the final piece, so basically this commission turned out to be the work of two people, which I honestly admitted to my client (and they were totally happy with the result).
So that's the story of this piece, very unusual but ultimately fun to make.
