  • Final Piece.

    Let me share the final piece here as well for some context. There were several ways to explore the concept of anxiety in this piece. It's the struggle of today's world and the biggest enemy of our ideas. It is fed to us through social media and a chaotic world as mentioned in the challenge invitation. In the end, this work represented to me a very meditative piece. A mandala almost. The flower is the ide. Because, in the beginning, ideas are a very sensible thing. We must take care of it, and there are several enemies to our ideas that come from everywhere, especially within ourselves. But the idea is the muse, is perfect in our vision and we must follow. That's what we artists do in the end.

  • Sketch again.

    I came back to sketching. I wanted to represent several dimensions of thought here. We have peace with the sky, some water for flow. The red down there, very common sense, hell. And the blue is because that's also a state of mind and heart. So these are a few feelings that we visit in this piece. Everything pretty ugly at this point.

  • Render the fun out of it.

    At this stage, I was having fun. Bringing colors to simple renders helped me to expand and integrate a color pallet. 3D is a super powerful tool.

  • Now, digital exploration.

    I went to 3d to craft support material and better understand where I could go. 3D is the best tool to quickly sketch and materialize an idea.
