#art&set design of ofmd is amazing

[piratecaptainscaptainpirates]

One of my favorite things about OFMD is how it so inspires creativity.

Like, I never thought I would post my writing. Ever. And I used to have these long periods where I wanted to write but I just wasn't inspired. Now I can't stop writing and I love sharing my fics. OFMD makes me want to share my stories.

And I know I'm far from alone! There are so many amazing artists on here who've said the same things. That goes for media analysis, too - it feels so worthwhile for OFMD, because we know the set and costume designers love talking about the meanings behind what they do! This show makes engaging with it feel so meaningful.

It's a creative, earnest show, and it inspires me to make creative and genuine art. It's a show that believes so deeply in the beauty and goodness and messiness of humanity - is there any wonder it inspires so many of us to make art?

contestabile: Hi everyone! Wanted to share some @ourflaghbomax insights after stumbling upon a fantastic Tumblr post by @mondfahrt (google it!). They captured the meaning and subtext perfectly, but here's a little extra. Mary's painting studio embraced a non-period-correct style inspired by Cubism, Expressionism, and American modernism. While the iconic lighthouse painting had already been established, we needed to fill the entire art studio/barn with similar styles quickly. To achieve that, we drew inspiration from the works of Georgia O'Keeffe and Carl Newman. Many artists contributed, but a special shoutout goes to @ozone_ue_skp for creating some incredible paintings. O'Keeffe-inspired close shots of flowers were “easily” rendered in the cubist/lighthouse style. Interestingly, we sourced rough sketches by Carl Newman, expanding and completing them in Mary's unique style. Multiple pieces were painted in different states of completion, reflecting progress throughout the episode. The set was a redress of the Warner Bros Jungle cabin, used in various productions from Dexter to Star Trek. It's interesting to see how it can transform to fit so many different atmospheres. I also must say it’s amazing to see the #ofmd community embracing the show and appreciating the attention to detail. As a follower myself, I'm grateful for the fans' passion. Although I didn't work on season 2 due to it being filmed in New Zealand, I'm eagerly anticipating it alongside all of you. Lastly, congratulations to the OFMD Art Department for their well-deserved @adgawards_official win earlier this year. It was an absolute honor to have been part of such a talented team.
