Today is a Saturday. Of all days I chose today to start a new painting for self indulgence. I've been coming up with a character that thrives living species--the parasite. So far I've come up with a parasite form that latches onto a host. Turns out the host is nothing more but a fish.
I've kept goldfish as pets for a very long time and I've always loved how beautiful and pretty they are. The scales make a wonderful pattern and would be very fun to draw. How do parasites look? Could look like any thing I suppose. It's quite hard to come up with characters these days. And the "Parasites" is the beginning of something I have long awaited to come true.
The biggest challenge was to find the right kind of style in coloring. I've tried watercolor paints, watercolor pencils, markers, pencil crayons. SO i guess you would call this a mixed media piece. I am thinking of translating this into photoshop painting. As I would know photoshop or paint will make the coloring smooth and lines more crisp.
Well so far, I'm fairly happy with this first painting. Hope I could make new characters to go along with what I am creating thus so far. Or better yet, have someone look at my work and say "this is great!"
