Still Life With Jeans

muffin top A second to add to the Still Life Series. This had some challenges – the crusty muffin look, and the denim were a bit of a pain. Which is to say the whole thing was tricky, but started with a good sketch, and it made it bearable at least…

I have a screen capture recording that i’ll have to edit and speed up, to let any one interested to look at the process that was gone through to get this done. Could be anther couple of days…

Update: Video uploaded! Was a bit of a churn – 10.5 hours reduced to just under 9 minutes, speed increased by 8000% (for god’s sake….).

Still Life With Frock

I once hear a man lovingly refer to his annoying wife as pear shaped woman. It was at my wedding i think, and no, it wasn’t me….

Alternate titles for this might have been:
“A pear, even in satin, is still a pear”
“Yes, but it looks good on“
“Satin 1. Pear 0.”
There’s something about this shape, and it’s need to be draped in satin, that has a similar allure as a flame might for a moth.
Why? I have no idea.
A study of reflective cloth, and fruit skin. That being said, i didn’t actually dress up a pear in a delightful lavender number, rather the scars on my brain, from witnessing outfits such as this, on nights out in Limerick, provided all the reference i needed.
