Amazing Technicolor Nightmares

This is Mat Ryoshka, the happy man from Saturn. He has a city in his jacket! He is also really creepy. Don't stare into his eyes for too long, or you'll catch his illness. What illness does he have? No one knows for sure; nobody's ever lived long enough for anyone to diagnose it.

Happy Accidents

It amazes me that so many religions and mythologies treat the creation of the universe as nothing more than an accident that the rest of the gods just ran with. That sort of amazes me that something that artists and other creators nowadays take as a symbol of them improving (a happy accident) could be expanded so greatly as to be the reason the universe exists today.

Of course, if you ask me Creationism is more or less the artistic studio process and putting it all on a much, much grander scale. Some guy gets the idea to create the universe, they figure out how, then they create it, and everything else is them refining it and refining it and refining it until at some point, perhaps around the beginning of recorded history, it is 'released' for all to see and the fans of their work decide to expand upon the world they created.

Or, from the standpoint of Greek Mythology, A bunch of people decided to get together and make something, but they became ashamed of it and what its fans did to it, so they decided to destroy it. Of course, the 'fans' didn't really take to the idea very well, so they decided to more or less forget what the original authors decided for it and make their own version of it. They still weren't too keen on what their 'fans' were thinking up for the world they created, so they would always defunct what they didn't like and would do their best to make sure that THEY were the ones that thought up the good ideas and no one else. Until the fans more or less did the same thing they did and ignored them to make their own world, the world of logic and math and science etc. etc.

One thing that I want to say after all this, is that if that's the way artistic vision plays out on the grandest scale known to humankind, then what of us modern day artists and filmmakers? What of our product that we show to the public, what do we say to the creations of the fans? What do the fans decide of the worlds and characters we create? Do they help to define the world, or are they shunned and ignored for the author's insistence on having a 'better idea'? Has the world grown so big through the efforts of the fans that expanding the world beyond just one planet and one timeline is inevitable?

When I create my first theatric movie, I am going to encourage the fans to create. I will encourage them to discover how my world is supposed to work, and if they're on the nose then I won't say a thing. I will wait until they think up a better idea than mine, and then I'll adopt it. I'll be sure to add what I think I need for the world to be entertaining and enjoyable, but otherwise it's fair game as to how exactly the world I present is supposed to work.

What do you think?

PERSPECTIVE OMG

Freaking traffic light was a pain.

o hey look another drawing!

D'awwwwww

Kerli the Princess Doll Thing!

Remember that Original Character head sketch I made in an earlier post? Here's her final model!

BLEAGHA

I haven't been updating a lot lately. Sadly, I have no excuse other than this thing is starting to dwindle in my consciousness. But I'm bored. So...

DRAWING.

So!

So there's this one girl at school. For the purposes of this blog post we'll call her Faye. She has the BEST fashion sense EVER. One day she's a princess with a pink and black tutu and a green shirt with a bandaid on her nose, the next day she's a guy complete with boxers and an oversized jacket. She once even went as a Gangster Ballerina with tights and a beanie! She's got the best fashion sense ever!

On the subject of HATS! Sadly, my hat quota has been faltering, mainly because of school. School is the most time-consuming thing in my life right now, and right now I mostly want to slow down my art work cycle so that I can focus on learning PERSPECTIVE is Geometry class! Perspective is important, so I'm sure you guys can forgive my artistic shortcomings for that, right?

But I HAVE been designing a lot of original characters for fun lately. I think I might show you one! Yeah! I'll show you one right now!

How about another one?

I feel so original!

Welcome to the Masterforce!

RESPECT THE CONTINUITY!

I haven't uploaded my blog in like, forever!

But I have been very busy! Once I finish this, Energon Beachcomber will be MINE. Aren't you happy for me? :3c </brat>

PINKIE

She has a cool head.

Motormaster!

Went entirely in my own direction for this guy. You have NO idea how hard it was to figure out what his torso was going to do, but luckily I had a very clear idea of what I wanted him to transform into. I also tried to distance him from Optimus as much as I could, because honestly, when an Autobot and a Decepticon share the same body type... no. Just... no. I can forgive things like Freezon and Natron doing that, but otherwise, get those blasted recolors out of my face.

La Strada Dell' Arte

 The first of the photos I took. Really realistic, huh?

 Fanservice predates history.

 Who says collages are only made from magazine papers?

 My stuff! No one bought any of it :<

 More realism! Yay!

 Pfft, of course they put a common clothing symbol on it, who would bother to see it otherwise?

 I think there was MCR playing in the background for this one.

 Twitter is over capacity.

 This was actually created by a group of children sometime last year.

 RADICAL

 Is that a giant mantis?

 I think it might rain soon!

 This was actually a lot more realistic looking in real life.

 How many of these are there?

 Aw dangit, stupid light ruined the shot >:C

 Is that green one IN SPACE!? :O

 I definitely think that one in the left is in space.

 Maybe it's a dream sequence?

 The world may never know.

 The spider that made this was thinking about her husband, maybe.

 I like this one :D

 She could beat up a Narwhal any day.

 DURRRR

 Another piece that, sadly, was never finished :<

 This one was nice :3

 No is no

 DRAGON

 I found Nemo!

 Is he trying to make a snow cone?

 I'm... not sure what the artist was going for here.

 This one... I don't have much to say about it.

 BIRDS

 Stellar

 Sunsets aren't always orange and red, y'know ;)

And here we close with a nice little farm scene made by a nine year old.

Welp, I hope you enjoyed my photos and rambles! If you're anywhere in the Napa County you should totally go to La Strada sometime, because the art and food here is really worth checking out. I just wished people actually bought the works presented that were up for sale, because some of those were really neat COUGHespeciallymineCOUGH ;w;
