So this NFT ended up going in a completely different direction than originally intended, but I suppose that is what happens when you simply let go and allow the process and mood to take over. I had drawn my original concept and intention which I shared in my AURA NFT post, but even if I do say so myself, I am really leased that I rolled with the shift in direction and opted to start over.
So this particular piece is called SOUL. As I have mentioned before, most of my works start off as a symbol and then I build the illustration around that, obviously depicting (from my personal perspective) the definition of the word itself. Below left is the original symbol designed and on the right was my first draft - spot the difference from the final artwork at the top of this post LOL.
Yesterday I sat down and got stuck into it with pencil and paper. I would say in total, the sketch and the ink work took me about three hours. Then came getting it onto screen so I could have some digital fun. I really enjoyed the process of this one, the second time around because there was no plan and I actually had no idea what it was going to end up looking like. I would also love to know what your thoughts are between the original concept and the end result. Two very different designs I know, but I would still value all opinions.
As I still own the commercial rights for this particular NFT, I decided to do some other fun stuff with it because it is such a fun and colorful piece of artwork, I thought it would work well with a lot of other stuff. You can check them all out properly on my website which I have JUST finished compiling to a point where I am happy with it. I still have a lot of stuff to do, but it is taking shape slowly and I am happy enough to share it now, so you are welcome to give your feedback on that too.
That is all for now!
See you all again soon!
