A Journey to Concept Art

   Research  and Ideas Generation -Cryptids "Mothman" print by Julian Callos https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/julian_callos/mothman/ "Cryptozoology is a pseudoscience and subculture that aims to prove the existence of entities from the folklore record, such as Bigfoot, the chupacabra, or the Mokele -mbembe.  Cryptozoologists refer to these entities as cryptids, a term coined by the subculture. Because it does not follow the scientific method, cryptozoology is considered a pseudoscience by mainstream science : it is neither a branch of zoology nor folkloristics. It was originally founded in the 1950s by zoologists Bernard Heuvelmans and Ivan T. Sanderson" Some of my fondest memories are of when i was a kid. I would spend most of my days runing around and investigating the nature around me, the animals, the bugs, plants and rocks.

For the happy pig we have Livestock or Animal and for the pig in horrible conditions i placed the words Meat or Murder, but if we read as a sentence it says Livestock Meat or Animal Murder . Also as a logo i did a little heart icon because it reminded me of pig snouts and made it resemble one even more. Therefore the fake foundation name "Blue Snouts Foundation" 

   Sequence Pictures For the assignment of sequence pictures i thought of  clay stop motion animation. With that idea in mind i drew a very simple stretch and squash of a clay object. But do make it a bit more visually interesting or just plain different, i though of reversing the gradient of every clay piece, creating this strange material. After cleaning some of the shots, framing them and plaing with the gradient i ended up with this photographic sequence.  I like to think of it that as a shortage of clay on Earth we starting commercializing Mars clay.
