“Delirium is always in a state of flux. She’s never the same at any given time. At one moment she could have red hair, the next it’s a bright orange - it all happens just as fast as a lightning bolt flashes. Her body and her mind are a tempest, a chaotic continuos commotion that never stops moving. A pity to be her, never ever settling, what a torture it is to have a life full of uncertainty.”
~About Delirium

Delirium was the first digital art I ever did and it was also part of my IB Visual Arts exhibition. Being my first digital art piece, certain areas show how much of a beginner I was. When I did this piece, I was at the crossroads of my art journey, deciding/settling on what medium mattered to me the most and thus this first digital piece of mine has a place in my heart.

You may notice that the facial proportions and everything about her figure is off. This feeling may come to you as a sense of unease (e.g "I have a bad feeling about this) and this is what I wanted to achieve. Delirium is an acute state of confusion and I thought that best way to achieve this is through the facial features being out of proportion. I might have made it a little bit too obvious but it achieves the effect with almost everyone it comes across, so I'm quite happy.

Having just learnt digital art, I wasn't very good at doing the hair bit so I just blocked in thousands of tiny strands - turned out quite nice (albeit slightly amateurish)

The piece was originally part of my Personification theme and it started off with the word "Delirious" before I searched google and found Delirium of the Endless from Neil Gaiman's "The Sandman" Graphic Novel. I took some inspiration from her and I liked the concept of how her appearance would give you discomfort/confusion and how she her appearance would look like it's changing (her eyebrow!)

Hope you like it!
