credits: art and animation by me music is the piano cover by theishter of shelter by porter robinson thank you to puddinf for hosting this contest, as well as the code for zooming in! notes (this is just me rambling about my thought process): i made two entries!! the animation isn't anything much i just thought it would be cool and ok i see a lot of people down bad for this guy in the comments but not enough people are down bad for the design. like in all seriousness the design is GORGEOUS the ways the colors complement each other and the elements all put together is so dkFJSLKDF:OSHG auhghhghhghghh its so good!!!!!!!!!!! really cool design. the mask is also really cool anyway. i read the backstory and oh thats really cool actually. i decided to go for something revolving around freedom because and then remembered that daedalus was a guy, and oh hey didnt he have wings made of wax, what if i drew wings made of metal and leather- and then it spiraled. as an artist tends to do so here are my thought processes behind the pieces if youd like to dig into my brain a bit: 1. neo-daedalus . the wings took me SO LONG TO FIGURE OUT AND DRAW and obviously they still wouldnt viably work as wings, logically, but we ignore that. just. i wanted to focus a lot more on environment. like. i think, the line that ran through my head the most while i was drawing this, was "if the distance is too great to leap i will fly it, if i am not given wings i will make my own," and i wanted to. i dunno somehow convey that sense of something beyond the horizon that is to be desired and your work, however dirty, however many times it had to be redone, however sloppy or scrappy it might look, it'll take you to a better place 2. i want my creation to stain me . nothing much here i just wanted cool vibes. also a bunch of artists in history were persecuted for making stuff to revolt against the status quo so that was sort of an inspo here i guess..? if you read this far thank you for being so interested in what i have to say! i ramble a lot but honestly most of the art was just made on "it looks cool" so yea and it has been a moment since i posted here. youll notice there has been some *solid* improvement since i last posted and im pretty proud of that once again, thanks to puddinf for hosting, your character design is gorgeous stay safe and take care of yourselves! peace out <3
