Interlude #2.1

Sub Part 1 of the Second part of my Interlude series, basically these sub parts to the second part of my interlude are just further information about why I actually do these hobbies, some of this actually interesting if you read on and it could probably relate to you in some way, I don’t know but it could well do but to further the case let’s start with Art my Favourite Interpretation media “Nature Morte”. (Notice how on all of my blogs I start with an Interpretation, I do this cos I didn’t title this Blog “Interpretation of Reality and Dream” for no reason lol but hence I only do this on blogs I decide to make into series that have meaning)
“Nature Morte a Tranquility of a still life, unable to move from the subject’s current pose, however althought they cannot move, surely it is noticable that they are symbolizing something, what is it you might ask, we don’t know, Nature Morte is Art with a lot of meanings within it, to understand it’s purpose you have to decipher it, if you look at Art and not decipher it, you’ll only get the impression that it is just Nature Morte, tranquil and undisturbed is all you see but if you take notice of all the small detail within the Art and draw your attention away from the main subject you can make out a story or a meaning of the art, that is the true meaning of a Nature Morte.”

Art, why have I made Art one of my hobbies?
Art is a big part in my life, rather than the fact that I wish to choose a career in the art district in the future, it’s why I chose to learn Art and Design at College, great area of study. Furthermore, the reason why I’m doing and liking art is because back in the days of childhood, I always envy the way my big brother draws, it’s so crisp and perfect in a way (well I thought it was back in the day). I always tried to do better than him but I end up having this feeling that I’m a whole staircase behind him, so I kept at it and tried harder and harder but I always seem to fall behind. By the time big brother reached near the end of his high school academic years he for some reason didn’t draw as much no more, this in mind gave me the thought that I can catch up now. After changing my style of drawing from front to back and back to front, I ended up with the conclusion that I can draw Freehand Self Manga Style (and I haven’t stopped this style). When I realized that and looked back at the work I used to do I feel embarassed yet accomplished at the same time, because my style has improved drastically since those days, when I compared it to Big Brother’s work however I felt that I’m still behind on a few things even though he stopped. So after realizing those things I kept on trying and trying again to see what I’m stuck behind on, I found out what I was lacking in the end and improved on it, then once I compared it to my Big Brother’s work I see a sort of same level comparison however I noticed something else more, Big Brother was only copying characters he saw through his life, not that he traced anything (infact I’m still impressed he never traced anything, he only ever copied pictures and had them look near enough exact) but he did try out different styles but still with the same copied characters doing different things they don’t normally do. Impressive but yet it’s something anyone can achieve, after realizing I was competing against someone who copies character made me think 2 things; I’ve been competing against a fan artist and I’ve already surpassed Big Brother (I suppose I did when I started drawing my own characters) but hence even though his style of art isn’t his own original work, he was still the one I was competing against all the time to get better.
Now, I’m still improving as we speak and I’m trying out new styles and new media, you can see some of my work on the Link Terrance labled DeviantArt or look on my Myspace and look into my drawn pictures, some that will catch your eye and some you might just think “It’s good but it’s only fair” but I don’t mind it’s all safe play after all. Some of my work have Interpretations, but because some people don’t look at the picture for long to decipher I give the answers out to what I am trying to interpretate (but as some people go and don’t read, they just think it’s a picture unfortunately).
This part is an In-depth of the types of Art I’m into (No, I’m not planning on going into Interlude #2.1X cos that’s just stupid and hard to organize).

~Interpretation~
The sort of art I’m into (or simply a style I developed), Creating an Atmosphere of meaning within the Drawings. I got into donig this sort of work when I listened to Enter Shikari’s Debut album “Take to the Skies”, the songs in the album were so strong and the lyrics had a lot of meaning within them (it’s something I’d call Sound Interpretation or in the best scenario EPIC) and because of this, I created Interpretation draws of the songs, some were more straight forward than others and some others where harder to do than others but no matter the case it was this album that started my new style of Interpretation.

~Manga~
The base of all my work, the main style I’m into and my Favourite, I believe that there is more to Manga art than just a storyline. I think there is a strong impact hidden somewhere in the art style that makes you think “I’m Moved by this”, compared to normal drawing of still life and protraiture, Manga shows more imagination and has a strong in-depth meaning within it than realism, it has the mixture of abstract and realism within it so it makes everything seem so logical and do-able. Compared to normal comics, Manga takes the priority of having detail and dynamics at the smae time, in my view comics don’t have that much of an impact as such, but compared to manga you see no exaggeration most times, even if something is made to seem exaggerated, you don’t see it as exaggeration, you see it as something that is pratically possible to do, althought sometimes there is a lot more to read, but that small bit of text makes everything seem so real, logical and possible that you eventually believe in it. I took in the style of manga when I had a step by step guide on how to draw it (Create it even), althoguht it was only 50 pages, I’d say it was the most detailed and most advanced tutorial of a manga how to draw ever (still have it aswell), thanks to it, I was able to create masses upon masses of self styled characters with a hint of influence of other artists (like Nobuohiro Watsuki and Takashi Obata), with that in mind I can draw numerous different events and different styles, by drawing masses allowed me to improve. Improving and being motivated to get better is the best tool for getting better.

~Cosplay~
Something I do on the bases that I’m bored and motivated or for a special occasion. Cosplay consists on dressing up as a character from any media with characters you’re fond of dressing up as, people tend to get wigs and props for such occasions and are making the impossible seem possible. I tried out my first Cosplay when collecting Death Note the manga, it was a great Manga and one of the characters L was incredible so I decided to attemp to cosplay like him, succeeded halfwise when I couldn’t get a better gel to do my hair like L but overall it went well. After a time, I watched D.Gray-Man and the main Character Allen Walker was influencial and awesome that I decided to cosplay as him aswell, but hence I didn’t have the time to make a replica of his coat or had the time to dye my hair snow white so i stuck to the main features of the face and arm, it succeeded halfwise aswell since I didnt have any crimson pain to put on my arm, luckily I was able to do that at college (good times) and take pictures there, good times cosplaying but I don’t plan to make a big deal out of it since I was only doing it for fun.

~Photography~
The most minor type of Art I have interest in, nothing much really, everyone likes to take a picture or 2 of themselves and edit it and thats what I do, nothing special of the sort, but I hope to make something big out of Photography, I swear it lol. I started donig so with a phone (still) when I did photography at college, it opened my eyes to a lot of things so I hope to make good use to it. (I hope to update this when I have something in working.)

~Writing~
Interpretation or writing a poem is the same thing technically, and writing to interpretate does exactly that. Like the bible or what I wrote above, it makes no difference o the fact that both of it is interpretating something of the sort. So by trying to master Literature also masters interpretation, in my view that’s how it happens. I started Literature when I met my good friend, he inspired me to write with his philosophical words (Words of the Prophet he calls it, or used to call it…I think lol), because of that I saw so much more into life that I decided to follow his ways and tried to do better in my literature, I can safely say it’s a lot better than what I used to write about, believe me.
That’s it for the Art side of my hobbies and interests, look forward to the next part of my Part 2 subbing Interlude.
Catcha.
