The Old Ways

This was a study process that culminated in an Expo in Bogotá made by Kurolab collective, an expo where professionals and students could show their work side by side. It was very inspiring to see al the young talents up and coming!

I thought of people praising and taking on a long pilgrimage to a relic of an old world we forgot. This postapocalyptic antennae keeps connecting people even after no devices are there to receive or send its microwaves. We keep praising channels of communication rather than the connection between us.

I started with a gouache painting and pivoted to Blender to have different compositions and lighting conditions that would later be re-painted in Photoshop. I did a basic Antennae model, textured and positioned it to keep faithful to the shape I wanted. I needed the image to be primarily trichrome, reds, yellows, and blues from the gouache and kept that idea to the end.

I am quite happy with what I learned.

I want to thank Felix Riaño for the Blender crash course and support while in a rut. Thanks for digging me out.
