Presenting the first contestant to the Mutation Nation challenge on ArtOrder. A cross between a Tarsier and a Peacock. I did this sketch this morning on the tube and coloured it quickly with some custom brushes during the lunch-break.
It’s an idea to explore – matching something that’s generally accepted as symbol of beauty (or was it vanity?) with creature that found its place on a list of 10 Ugliest Animals which I think is both wrong and cruel taking the fact this little fella belongs to endangered category(talking about adding insult to injury).
Eventually, I will probably go with something bigger, crazier, with bigger claws, teeth and preferably a gunner turret in place of the head. We’ll see…
