Masquerade
December 30, 2023 - January 4, 2024
Sketched/inked throughout winter break, painted during jan 4 paint night.
I had first thought up a piece like this years ago, and it was meant to be an illustration of what I imagine when I listen to Wriggle by Cosmo Sheldrake. I found it over the winter break and got inspired to make this. Didn't take a picture of the old concept, but the bird and the masquerade mask were both parts of it. And me using the red/yellow colour palette was me staying true to the og concept.
Took a scan of the lineart before colouring in the mask. Had to do it twice because the painting was too big for the scanner 🥲. Still need to splice together the two imgs to get the full piece as one scan.
The gold bits were painted on sometime sem2 year1 of uni (and after the end date listed above) but it was so little that I'm fine w the fake finish date.
I was planning on colouring the entire piece, but the mask in it of itself was annoying enough, and I thought it looked good w just that part coloured. I've asked around if people think it looks finished with how it is now, and most people say no 😭. I've gotten different suggestions for what to do to make it look more complete, but I don't really fw any of them (but I also think it looks does as is, so I'm not inclined to modify it at all in the first place).
The suggestions:
Colour the candelabra in blues to compliment the mask
Add shading to the rest of the obj
Microns, watercolour, acrylic paint and india ink on watercolour paper

Went to an antique store recently and found this!
It made me think of Buddy's little cowboy Bendy idea from the book Dreams Come to life! Do any of you artists out there think you could maybe redraw the poster in Bendy style?
