Second WIP of my Sonic OC, I still have to choose which of those faces will be his final one. Also I’ve decided that he’s part of the IDW verse.

Whilst the body himself is now finish there is still the clothing that needs to be drawn.

Eine gebückte Gestalt, angezogen vom Licht, aber unfähig, es zu erreichen. Schnief.

Old Marionette

Idk how the idea came but I draw mannequins instead real persons (I thought it looked kinda funny)

Ein Geschenk!

Gliederpuppe mit Headcrab!

Ich habe keine Ahnung, wie diese Figürchen heißen. Die Beine sind leider recht störrisch, so dass der Raum an möglichen Posen dadurch deutlich reduziert wird. Aber ich denke, diese hier ist einigermaßen ausdrucksstark.

Aha, Gliederpuppe.

Madeline von Foerster’s Uprooted painting series is an ecological cautionary tale told through the eyes of a wooden doll living in a curiosity cabinet. 

The collection begins with the doll’s realization that she was once a tree, and chronicles her longing to rejoin the forest and be surrounded by living things rather than the lifeless artifacts preserved alongside her.

The idea of the German curiosity cabinet is a symbol of humans’ relationship toward nature: “a laudable curiosity and animation combined with a fetishistic, ultimately doomed desire to contain and possess,” says von Foerster. 

With Uprooted, she hopes to make viewers think about the histories of the objects that surround us every day: tables and chairs that were once trees, bits of ivory that were once elephant tusks, coral that once belonged to a vibrant underwater ecosystem.
