Idea: the helmet reflecting the corruption of the city

Keep Talking
Material: procreate Process: (see process piece) Idea: I thought usingbthe contrast between the famous statue "the thinker" and the astronaut would be interesting. I intentionally cut off the statue's brain part, revealing only half of the head, implying that wisdom does not seem to be praised anymore.
Wirefall
Material: ipad Process: outline the apples and colored, enlarged the apples on the left so that they look like they are in perspective while also differentiating the sizes Idea: a tangle of wires that are like fruit worms, or tree roots, which are spreading all round. The piles of apples represent the nature, the color choice is to show the unhealthy state of the fruits which is inspired by moldy fruits. The piece is suppose to show the pollution that technology has brought upon.
War Pigs
Material: ipad Idea: this piece is to correspond with the first piece (apes by the river bank), showing the anti-war idea. The reason why the warships are so close to the bank is because I want to show the dislocated feeling and sense of space between a dream and a reality. The messy and loose line-art also serve for this purpose. Process: started with black and white sketch then added colors on top Reference:
Man in the Box
Material: ipad Process: i sketched the outline with pixel brush first, because I thought the toughness of pixel brush can add a lot of glitchiness to the piece, and because it is the brush that I'm most used to use and is part of my style. After that I add another layer just to outline everything again with intentional squiggly lines to create a messy feeling, in order to match with all the wires I am going to add later. Idea: Instead of the astronaut being the only spectator, i am curious to see how he looks in another perspective, Therefore I put him inside a computer screen, as if someone else from this current earth is observing him too. The color choice is to show the chaos the world is in right now. And I intentionally drew those types of old-fashioned computers Instead of the modern ones, representing the lack of light industry.
