Wow, it's been a while since I updated my blog, so to the very few people who actually visit this blog, I'm sorry. It will never happen again. Ok, it might happen again, but who cares?
This piece was actually a class assignment. In my illustration class, we were asked to create an environment using repeating shapes inspired by nature. So I was inspired by a conical shell to create this environment in which the repeated cones are quite apparent. I started this in class, and after one hour, we were asked to show the class what we had at the moment. this is what I had at that moment.
Right off the batt, I could fully envision what the more finished version will look like. All the information is already there. All I had to do at that point was to render it to death. and I somewhat did that. The more finished version can be found here
