My New Artblog

Rose again, I archived the old blog because support never got back to me, so expect lots of reuploads.

Nothing much to say here, just like the description says, I never got back from support about the status of the other blog, so I decided to archive it and create a new one.

"5 minutes before midnight"

This is a weird post from me, but I found this when I was cleaning old files from an old homework, with that title and I can't honestly can't remember what the class was about for us to do this, but I still really like it! So here you go!

This was an edit made with our own photos, I did the glass slipper using a perfume bottle and color balance, and the clock is an old thing in my mom's house that is broken and perpetually marking 5 minutes before twelve and I must have immediatly thought "Oh! Cinderella!"

Hey there, I have not been dead (yet)

But I'm actually back in school, and I was also super busy finishing a zine piece, because I was using a new coloring style that happened to be a bit of steeper learning curve than I thought.

Anyway, this is a sneak peek for my piece in the "Saint Seiya in the Winter" zine, organized by @saintseiya-zone

I chose a character that has only appeared on the games, but I think you guys can guess who is this ✨

"TODAY WAS A SUNNY DAY"

"This phrase is attributed to Mexican television presenter Jacobo Zabludovsky in the context of the 1968 Movement in Mexico and the massacre that took place on October 2 of that year in Mexico City's Plaza de las Tres Culturas. Since there are no known recordings of the host's program, the phrase has been used to exemplify the Mexican government's censorship of those events. There are different versions of the phrase, and Zabludovsky may not even have said it."

Today is yet another anniversary of the Tlatelolco massacre of 1968, and finally, I'm posting this piece I did around two years ago, for an art contest.

As stated in the above quote, this phrase supposedly said by the presentator has become an urban legend of sorts, there is no proof that he ever said it, on the contrary we have plenty of evidence that every news station and newspaper did report the incident, but in a very downplayed way that on top of it made the students look like an extremist group looking for trouble.

But, personally I still used it, because for me, despite not being the actual thing, imo it still works as a very appropiate metaphor for the repression that these students must have lived at the time, and everything that followed afterwards.

For the main colors of red and blue, I used them for contrast, and as light and shadow of each other in different angles, the red is more pronounced where the events took place, and slowly becoming blue to portray a certain coldness of this happening, without most people knowing it did until it was done, and the red is absolutely meant to look like smeared blood in certain parts for that reason.
