the pixie
THIS IMAGE EVOLVED FROM A MISTY WOODLAND SCENE UP CORSTORPHINE HILL IN EDINBURGH IN 2011 WHICH I USED TO CREATE A WILD SCENE PLAYING AROUND WITH THEMES OF ECO-DIVERSITY AND THE DUALITY OF NATURE : THIS ENDED UP WITH THE LOOSE WORKING TITLE "ENTROPIC WILNDERNESS"
I LATER ATTEMPTED TO REWORK THIS DESIGN AS AN ILLSUTRATION AND IT ENDED UP TAKING A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT DIRECTION THAN I INTENDED WHICH IS OFTEN HOW THINGS WORK : A FAIRY, A DEMON AND SOME KIND OF HOODED MONK APPEARED SO I NAMED THIS REWORK AS "THE AWAKENING" : SCROLL DOWN FURTHER TO SEE MORE ABOUT THAT
I THEN TOOK THE FAIRY OUT OF THAT DESIGN : DESPITE THE FACT I LEFT THAT BIT UNTIL THE END IT TURNED OUT SO WELL THAT I GAVE IT IT'S OWN DESIGN AND ALMOST NAMED IT AFTER ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BANDS

THE AWAKENING
FOR THE MOST PART OF THE DESIGN PROCESS THE PIXIE WAS LEFT AS A ROUGH SKETCH AND IT WASN'T UNTIL THE END WHEN I HAD A GO AND MAKING HER LOOK BETTER WHEN I PRODUCUED THIS MONOCHROMATIC ILLUSTRATION : THE INTERESTING WAVY FORM HER HAIR TOOK AND THE POSSIBLY ALIEN TENTACLES : THE WINGS ARE TRACED FROM A PHOTOGRAPH OF A BEE

CORSTORPHINE HILL IN EDINBURGH ON A MISTY DAY IN 2011
A LOT OF CAREFUL CONSIDERATION WAS REQUIRED TO POSITION EACH ELEMENT/CREATURE
MOST OF WHICH WERE TAKEN FROM DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHS I TOOK MYSELF USING A CHEAP POINT AND SHOOT DIGITAL CAMERA : THE NATURAL "RANDOM" COMPOSITION OF ALL THE CREATURES REMINDED ME OF STASTITICAL MECHANICAL MODELS USED TO EXPLAIN THE CONCEPT OF ENTROPY IN PHYSICS
