Abstract
Medium: Digital drawing
Dimensions: 40” x 24”
Year: 2023
“Bound” is a digital drawing print measuring 40” x 24”. This image is an original character based on a close friend, a mysterious hybrid creature shackled and lost among the vast world that is the sky and space. Incorporating both realistic and idealized characteristics of my friend, there are also some personal interests mixed in to create this piece. As my specialty is fantasy character creation, I wanted to bring about a new character into a world inspired by an image and a color palette. Using movement, lighting, and details this allowed the piece to allude to a sense of wonder and have the viewer question the essence of the piece. This work will become a small series as I will create more characters based on close friends of mine. This allows me to challenge myself and expand my ideas based on characteristics I normally wouldn’t work with.
