Description
This is my version of a commissioned artwork. I just reduced the heavy reference to crypto art culture - bored apes and whatever bears.

It was a lot of fun working on this one, as I had total freedom throughout the process (which took 3 days).

Sketching the thumbnails and visualizing the concepts, props and characters (i.e. visual development) is my favorite part of the process. During that phase, my client and I agreed on the direction, the style, and the level of playfulness they're willing to accept. In the museum, I put a Picasso, a prehistoric Instagram post, and a nonsensical work of modern art!

The composition consists of a single-point perspective with strong verticals and design elements that point the eye to the focal point. The lighting in the background also serves a similar purpose.

As for painting, I used a limited blue light palette with hints of warm colors here and there to break up the coldness. To me, this piece should have been a bit darker, but I increased the brightness to satisfy my children's requests.

The video of this piece's time-lapse painting process can be seen on my website: www.alhyari.art . Enjoy!
