A few months later...the story continues. We had just finished making costumes for a short film by Lydia Hicks. It was a cool mix of some tie-dye and some paint. Thankfully, there were no set "rules" on what the designs had to look like...
...and they turned out well. Also, due to a last minute cancellation, my garage got cleaned (well, half anyway), and some of my art ended up being used for an "art gallery" scene.
Done painting costumes, we turned our attention to the human canvas. We had talked about a shoulder piece, something around the belly button...or this:
The original idea was to have a woman, shirtless, covering her breasts with her hands. I would then draw the straps back in - including something going over one finger...as if the finger were just under the strap.
This was the third or fourth layer of color...
...and zoomed out, for effect.
Tired and (more importantly) out of ink, this is where we stopped.
I'll have another go at this...next time I find a willing (or asleep) participant. For a project like this though, I may have to graduate to body-paint. We'll see.
