Character Design (2/3): Turtle

-

  Another main character present in this story is the turtle (sea turtle in technicality due to the setting being in an ocean, but most characterisations do follow more of a land turtle’s), who function as the communicator between the sea king and the rabbit due to it being the only animal to ‘travel through both the water and the land.  I wanted to put more focus on the sea turtle elements to my character, so I have simplified the shape of a sea turtle into two shapes: the teardrop shape which comprises the head and the limbs, and the ‘muffin’ shape which composed the body or the shell.  Photo of a sea turtle by NFWF   Then, as I have with the rabbit character, I analysed turtle characters from famous media. I have suspected that sea turtles would not be a common character since ocean-focused cartoons are very specific and rare, and my search had shown as such. Land turtles were more common to be used, with the rare exception of the sea turtle Crush from the movie ‘...

Artist Research: Penny Siopis, ‘Warm Water Imaginaries’ and Abstraction

-

   Penny Siopis is an multi-medium artist of Greek descent born and working in South Africa, representing issues ranging from the traumas of children in South Africa to global, political issues. She has worked with a range of mediums, from photography and films to paintings, but I am focusing on her painting series and her techniques, specifically her abstraction and fluid art.   For a long time, Siopis worked with concepts that were ‘beyond representation’ (South African History Organisation, n.d.)– personal representation, psychology, trauma and such– and integrating dynamic materials into her works as if to show the organic nature of such psychological issues.

She specifically mentions this iss...

Artist Research: Odilon Redon’s ‘Buddha’

-
Image
 Odilon Redon had initially caught my interest for this research due to his significance as a symbolist artist working with abstract shapes and context, but further into my research I have learned that he was one of the first to introduce Buddhism– Buddha in himself more specifically– into the Western art environment. He was also iconic for his openness to different mediums and techniques, moving on from monochrome works to colour and integrating different art styles such as Japonism to his works.  Le Buddha, 1895  Like many of Redon’s other works, his first work of Buddha was a monochrome lithograph with an almost sinister look compared to many of Asian depictions of Buddha. This art style is dominant throughout his works in the 1870s to 1880s, where in the 1870s he was required to join the army to fight against the Franco-Prussian war. The war in itself must have been influential to his mindset and art of Redon, but the defeat and the chaos left behind by the war may ha...
