Schizophrenia sequel

Image
I started to sense a picture I wanted to realise but realised that I've basicaly done it allready, around 8 years ago. It was done when I was learning 3d and named to the half embarrising "Schizophrenia", but whatta hell, if you don't stick with your past what's the point of moving. Instead I figured that now would be a good time to remake it with updated ideas, tools and skills. So here's the first draft of it together with the original(top). Next step is to add some effectul blend between the two faces. I also need to improve the fleshy feeling at far right as I want the picture to transcend from clean computer geometric abstraction to realistic naturalism. I'll also hope to experiment some with 3d elements to enhance the composition. Regarding the original it's kinda funny to see the classical beginner mistakes in anatomy like enlarged eyes and scaled down upper skull. H ere's a small treat for reading this post.

Concept for car industry bail out. While I did this I came to think of how everything has played out so extremely well from a environmentalist point of view. At least the chronological order of events. The line fascism, war, climate change awareness, credit crisis and peak oil is perfect when argument for the need of systematical change. The false pretext and disastorous outcome of the Iraq war has made war look less like a profitable idea for imperialistic countries. Both MoD/P entagon , the media (WMD's?) and the liberal elite is still in disgrace but shows hopeful signs of clensing (at least weakening). Meanwhile the environmental awareness has striken so hard that a majority of Europeans is ready to make change to their lifestyle in favor of climate friendly political reform. On the other hand the political efforts for a meaningful climate bill now stand as futile against the response to the credit crunch, clearly drawing our rulers priorities. The same thing should be said abo

Maby inspired by my visit at Tate Britain's Turner rooms yesterday I wanted to get into some landscape painting. I've got some ideas on creating a very closed romantic nature scenario and mix in abstract elements with that, maby a geekier version of some of Bjork's stuff. Hence I picked the "pond" as it hold that feeling of a seperate ecological system, a world on its own.
