Inspired by: Glowing in The Dark by Jacob Soucy
Artist Statement:
This piece was influenced by Jacob Souby’s Glowing in The Dark. I listened to the piece several times in order to get a feel and idea for the music, and for what I wanted to create from it. The beat and synthesizers provided a semi-futuristic feeling and I decided to veer towards a sort of high-tech scene with some Ghibli influence. The piece consists of a landscape with the main focal point being a ramshackle delivery mech, upon which a girl and her cat sit, taking a break from a busy day of deliveries. I chose to paint this scene entirely in photoshop, using an array of vivid colors to attempt to bring the piece to life.
