So I like octopi... and I like top hats...

thus octopus top hat. There's honestly not much more than that. I like them both so I combined them.

Next week I'm making it my goal to try out those awesome new markers we got. I think they'd fit in well with my concept and what I'm trying to create. I need to practice a bit with them first, I really have no experience when it comes to markers...

Another thing I'm working on this week outside my concentration is a landscape image. I need one for my portfolio to apply to MCAD so I figured I needed to start on it. I'm using oil paints so it may take me a while... anyway it's an image of Yellowstone a while after that huge fire they had many years ago. My grandpa took the reference picture and he's had it on display over his fireplace since I was little. Good memories all around. =) WIP pics coming later.

Oh, and I found another cool artist this week.
Claudiu Candea who, although having absolutely nothing to do with my concentration, is fabulously creepy. (nudity and some graphic images, consider yourself warned)

  1. I really like your idea with the top hats. This picture shows lines very well how they are opposites. I think that makes the picture more interesting. I also like how you used bright colors that are opposites. Like pink and green then black in the middle.

  2. This is awesome. I like how you sophisticated the octopus and how you only have the tentacles showing, in my opinion that makes it more interesting. I think the color scheme creates good contrast. Well done. =]
