Medeina - Process

Image
       "Medeina or Medeinė (derived from medis (tree) and medė (forest)), often treated as           synonymous to Žvorūnė or Žvorūna (derived from žvėris (beast)), is one of the main deities        in the Lithuanian mythology and is similar to Latvian Meza Mate. She is a ruler of forests, trees       and animals. Her sacred animal is a hare.", Wikipedia I chose Madeina as a classical representation of a supernatural protector.

The Stelmuze Oak in Lithuania is one of the oldest trees in the world, aged between 1500 to 2000 years old. It owes its longevity partially to the care of the public.

I started with some messy gestural sketching to help me decide the layout of the book cover. With the rule of three I drew the rough sketch. Added a 2-point perspective guide to fix any perspective mistakes. For the next steps, I started with the foreground a...

Cycle - Desintegration

Image
As part of the Cycle series, the chosen pieces were designed to represent three cycles that effect nature. The first was Life and Death. The second was Respect and Responsibility. Desintegration is part of the third, which is Cause and Effect. Climate change is effecting nature in ways that could have a catastrophic effect on our species. Sir David says we face "irreversible damage to the natural world and the collapse of our societies". from the BBC article:  Climate change: Sir David Attenborough warns of 'catastrophe' Ironically, in large part, we are the cause. "... there is a strong, credible body of evidence, based on multiple lines of research, documenting that climate is changing and that these changes are in large part caused by human activities. While much remains to be learned, the core phenomenon, scientific questions, and hypotheses have been examined thoroughly and have stood firm in the face of serious scientific debate and careful ev...
