Btw the 2nd image is outdated, I realized her armor was faulty and fixed it in the first image but not the 2nd 💔
Anyways Scratch is 11's mentor and father figure, She is hopelessly in love with 10-ball (😭) and is a ALTER/SHADOW agent at the moment :D (unmasked design soon)
This month’s prompt lead me on a journey of discovery, let me tell you...
I was down to the last week, the last two and a half days, with so many concepts but no idea which thumbnail I wanted to use. After hitting a brick wall and getting so frustrated I nearly chucked something, I had one option left: Just do the most basic lines, then let the paint do all the work. No careful planning or structure, just keep putting paint to paper until something appears. What happened next was not only one of my most interesting pieces yet, but a much needed detox. ‘Stress finally leaving my body, feeling like a whole new artist as I took the pressure off to try something new. My entire mood did a whole 180 in 24 hours.
When I did different studies and textures for the pool water, I had one with pink lines mixed in and thought it was a pity I couldn’t use it. Then I had an idea, with my previous dragon egg pieces still on the brain, I bought these wooden ones, ready to paint. There was some trial and error on medium; inks ran off, oils were okay but I forgot how long they took to dry, then some acrylic paints I had squirrelled away proved to be just right. It was elating! Playing with acrylics again took me back to when I was a little girl, doing Art Attack pape mâché projects at my grandmother’s house.
Since the paints are quick-drying, I did another, going for the billiards meaning for Pool. First was the 11-ball, since this was our 11th prompt. Then the 8-ball would be another fun experience, because I had a packet of 6 paints that were gifted to me - black wasn’t among them. So I had to make my own black using the three primary colours. ❤️💙💛 It blew my mind that it worked, and it just made the result so much satisfying
Now I feel a whole new creative side woke-up, and I’m so excited to do more! It’s true what they say,
“Creativity is a response to limitation”.
