I built up an "galaxy Leo". Great to see myself having fun with this :(

My masterpiece version 1.98

16th Mar

Spending all my time on the plug-ins, now finally I'm on the fast track.

One big break through!

For guys who are burdened by this kind of problem "how could I draw this?".
I would like to recommend a blog which introduces several plug-ins and it will definitely help!

Good luck and have fun!

How do you think this one represents "crouch"?

The word I describe Shinya Kimura is "crouch" for the interesting pose he made on the motorcycle. The reason he make is pose is because lowing down will reduce the air resistance, and hence maximise the speed.
I derived a zen philosophy from this pose. One wants to "jump" much crouch first, one wants to success must tolerant the undesirable environment and lay low, waiting for the opportunity to "jump".

The bouncing-up-and-down terrain is obviously not an ideal place to ride motor, which means, when new motor is finished, it has to be ridden at a very low speed, and once it gets out the area, it could accelerate and reach the exhibition area.

The compressing canopy also contains the zen philosophy(actually this is the underground part, and canopy will actually be used as stairs/ramp). Its moderate interior pressure makes people want to "crouch". Although, I've seen the layout of Shinya's former studio and I believe he loves compressing and confined space rather than wide open space.

"scretch" up model

The word I used was: Dynamic and Complexity. 

I've derived this idea from windmill. Below are the evolution of this idea. Its shape suggests the dynamic feature of the building. Those four triangular legs are pointing at different direction, and it's shape varies from one to another. Comparing with an elementary element-circle, this uncertainty of shape brings a complexity to the building.

1. My creativeness & favourite building:

I took this picture when I just finished moving home. Some of my stuff appears to me randomly due to the moving, ones of those were my toy helicopters.

There happened to be a warm desk-light around. I found the shadow created by those combination was extremely interesting. So I asked my room-mate to complete the picture with me. As childhood memory suggested by both warmness of the light and the shadow of playing helicopter, nothing beats it!

This is one of my favourite building, Barcelona Building in Potts Point, Sydney.

I think the suburb of the building was quite infamous due to this safety issue. I like this brightness brought by the building. And its large-scale curve on the top floor provides a sense of safety to this unsettled place. At the same time, the building is an residential building on a very limited sized land. This is a admirable job to create such big space (and even a garden on the top) on this small site.

This is the best landscape I have ever took. I was in my home town, which is snowy during the winter. It was a warm day, although after snow, the lake wan only partly frozen. I was walking on the bank, someone else was walking on the other side of the bank. Then I pressed shutter. I cropped it, adjusted contrast, and reversed it, I mean, up side down. In this way, the landscape is telling much more than a simple picture. Ice on the lake blurred the people's reflection on the lake, which is mysterious. The willow with no leaf on that creates great hierarchy object with great sense of texture. It is like wash drawing. The best part is, it is up-side-down, which take a little time for viewer to figure out: how did you take this picture?
