HELLo again! Today we have some new 3DCG art, and some 2DCG art for you. Much awaits the arrival of your beauty-bestowing gaze.
We´ll have some fun talking about my SECOND BOOK... That would be "(Not) Freak Squeal" (available at my STORE) and we´ll share some exciting new tidbits of information about INHELL´s second chapter... some exciting new visual tidbits from that upcoming book as well. Let's do a chill, rambling little update for you all.
I have to say, I HAVE been pretty busy learning to sculpt in the computer. It's pretty technical work, lots of stuff to learn, lots of little tutorials to check out and well, lots of new problems to bump against and overcome while trying to craft virtual sculptures. What a world huh? I remember being in total awe of those first 3DCG images and videos I saw as a kid, in gaming magazines and on TV.
Everyone and their aunt was FLOORED by stuff like Jurassic Park right? Are you old enough to remember that, dear reader? I always felt it would be impossible, for me try my hand at such things... such WONDERS, yet here we are.
What. A. World.
I have shared different "3DCG w.i.p.s." in the past with you, here is another:
I know the web OVERFLOWS with more technically impressive examples of virtual sculpture. This is as primitive as it gets nowadays, still, I find that the vast majority of CG art concerned with pushing the bar upwards technically is very often very lacking in artistic/cognitive ambition. The CG art I like is mostly made by Japanese guys, as mostly quite primitive/simple when compared with the elaborate, boring technically much more impressive works of 3DCG sculptors in the west.
The second picture showcased above lacks a vanishing point. Its parallels extend forever without touching. The program affords one this type of view as it can be quite handy at times, when working. If you know some art history, you know how strange and fascinating it is to be able to turn "perspective" ON or OFF when looking at a picture. It was, after all, a very monumental thing to discover, THE UNIFYING POWER OF VANISHING POINTS.
There is a delight stemming from a great sensation of power when sculpting on 3D software for sure.
Moving on from that, let me talk a bit about my second book. Let's just pick a little element from it and discuss it. Who knows? Maybe that could motivate you to purchase it, if you haven't already, or recommend it to someone you know.
Here, check this not wholly unrelated thing out:
SIEGLE GONZALEZ trails a certain shadowy werewolf as he penetrates a strange temple. A structure that references Jean Pierre Raynaud's "La Maison De La Celle-Saint-Cloud". If you look closely, you will notice the contrast between the flat foreground and the hallway leading into the stairs at the back, which is governed, of course, by THE UNIFYING POWER OF A VANISHING POINT.
The idea is that, while the male is moving INTO the temple, and towards the future, the fe-male is moving ACROSS the flat picture, towards the next page. Like the wolf renders above, you have here stress being placed onto the phenomenon of DIMENSIONS. Where do you move? How do you move? Who moves and who is it that OBSERVES you moving? Have you not felt yourself as "another" many times? When confronted with your image in the mirror, or when walking, sometimes its easy to feel, since it's a bit of an automatic movement, that it is not YOU that is walking, but another. My second book is all about exploring such things, such ideas, within the context of a science-fiction fantasy about warring virtual werewolves.
You really should get, it'll enrich us both if you do.
A book that emphasizes the fact that we exist on many worlds at once, something that allows us to perceive each one, each world as an object within our minds; a very luxurious sensation. SO MANY WORLDS are available to us today, so many perspectives... A method for living while hopping about from world to world is suggested in that book, you could say.
Now for some INHELL art...
Here.
I´m starting work on the last stretch of the chapter, and will bring it to KICKSTARTER early next year. Please look forward to a new chapter in the Diabolical adventure. This second installment has blossomed into something I am very excited about sharing with you all. Though originally eager to get thru it to arrive at the more "adventurous" part of the story (that would be chapter III) I have utterly fallen in love with it as I worked. I think this might , in the future, be understood as my core statement to the world. The golden cosmos, my golden age, I will share this sea with you all.
Let me share with you a pertinent quote by ol' Fred, and bid you farewell until the next time.
Indeed, at hearing the news that 'the old god is dead', we philosophers and free spirits feel illuminated by a new dawn; our heart overflows with gratitude, amazement, forebodings, expectation - finally the horizon seems clear again, even if not bright; finally our ships may set out again, set out to face any danger; every daring of the lover of knowledge is allowed again; the sea, our sea, lies open again; maybe there has never been such an open sea... Oh, and remember to REGISTER for free comics and updates! It will bring JOY (the good kind not the commie kind) in the future if you do!
