PHOENIX
It isn't always a pretty process to rise anew, but sometimes you have to leave things in ashes.
BEHIND THE SCENES of this fiery winged beast
Firstly, the bones of our wings. We needed a bit of structure for our feathers so it didn't look like a flightless clump....No chicken phoenix allowed
Next was a wash of black to cover tats and lay an ashen base of BURNED FLESH...creeeeepy
We then lifted sections of black out in cracked volcanic crust formation using a sponge and a stencil to speed things up....coincidence that it revealed a bird fossil???? You see it too right???
There...now you DEFINITELY see it too :-D
Moving on came the tedious process of filling in all that negative space with our fiery brimstone.
While painting was progressing a screaming beak was simultaneously being built out of makeup sponges cut, shaped, and covered in cotton/latex.
Maybe most unsettling was the application of these feet cotton/latexed on to be busting through
Next the addition of that beak which just looks freakin' squawky. ( Pfffft maybe I DID have to google how to spell "squawk"....whats it to ya??
Very low tech method of applying the fire and smoke...but hey...whatever works!
Hope you enjoyed the look cuz we were pretty stoked to share it with you :-) Happy creating wherever you are!
