I've Been Waiting for This
My third artwork for Month of Love 2021, for the subject "Embrace". After many sketches again, I finally decided to create something about change as forward progress. Sometimes we look only back at what we give up, lose, and leave behind. Especially when stressed, we tend to see any change as to be avoided, but I do love the proverb "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade". Doesn't hold up in all quoted cases but it is wise. Because, isn't it change to start that new language? Master a sports trick, or a delicious recipe? Meet new people with ideas we never had ourselves? Discover artwork, learn science, or find that new way of stacking cushions to the perfect relaxation couch? Who then misses their old self, who couldn't do the backflip, or made un-fluffy cakes, or never laid comfortably on the couch?
I've been using 3D models in my artwork a lot lately. Photos are better, but most 3D models work for free, and the light more versatile. I find that it enables me to more complex things I didn't dare before. And once I no longer fear them I can expand. This is a digital piece done in DAZ Studio, Blender, Photoshop and Painter, with overlaid textures created with Apophysis, and acrylics pourings.
