Bizarre silk

Bizarre silks are a style of figured silk fabrics popular in Europe in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Bizarre silks are characterized by large-scale, asymmetrical patterns featuring geometrical shapes and stylized leaves and flowers, influenced by a wave of Asian textiles and decorative objects reaching the European market in these decades.

Around 1707 and 1708, bizarre designs combined distorted florals with architectural elements such as arches, canopies, pergolas, and diagonal fences. From 1709–10, the scale of the patterns was reduced and elements of chinoiserie and japonaiserie appeared.

The aesthetic of chinoiserie has been expressed in different ways depending on the region. It is related to the broader current of Orientalism, which studied Far East cultures from a historical, philological, anthropological, philosophical, and religious point of view. First appearing in the 17th century, this trend was popularized in the 18th century.

ORIGAMI NORIAKI KAKYOIN, designed+folded by me. One uncut square of roughly 60 cm home-prepared double tissue. Natural color changes (green for one side of the paper, peach on the other). Long post incoming!!

This project began a bit over a week ago, when the inspiration struck me, and I simply had to create him. My starting paper was super wrinkly! It got warped when I left it to dry overnight!! So it was very uneven. But! I took inspiration from a post I once saw about a tissue foil Ryujin that said “See this post as a reason to create something stupid, because it might actually turn out great.” So despite the flaws, I decided “I am going to fold this paper anyway”. And I’m glad I did. Shaping the face especially took a lot of trusting in the process. While I believe there is still room for future improvement, I also think it’s the best origamiyoin I’ve created so far. 

Much of this folding process was spent shaping him. I spent an evening impulsively drafting the structure in Box Pleating Studio and then getting paper prepared. Precreasing and collapse was spread out over 2 days, and everything else was shaping. 

Including image with side by side comparison of the first Kakyoin vs the latest below. While the old fold absolutely does not meet my standard now, it was an important part of this journey as well. Other miscellaneous process images included. (I do not claim the crease pattern to be perfect)

ALSO EDIT: NEW FOLD OF KAKYOIN HERE

and in the spirit of the topic of the day, talking about a subject with great confidence doesn't make anyone an authority or even mean they're particularly knowledgeable. some people just sound really confident, or they don't know enough to know what they don't know. saying shit isn't proof of anything. show don't tell type of deal

Golden Wind illustration redraw!

My younger sibling had challenged me to redraw a piece of Hirohiko Araki’s artwork- specifically the one on the cover of volume 9 book. It sounded like it would be fun so I immediately accepted the request! (I was so right by the way, this was a lot of fun to draw! I’ll definitely do more of these in the future:D)

I asked my friend if I should keep the original colors or color it in my own way. She responded that I should color it in my own way so I did:]

(Lineart color/no filter versions and reference image under the cut!)

Variants because I couldn’t choose my favorite!

And the reference image!!

(Please help me, I’m fighting the urge to change my pfp to Giorno)

Bucci gang concepts all from last year

The general vibes are a gaggle of non-cats being led by cheetah Bruno (minus Trish, she's also felid but I've yet to get around to sketching her concept). Bruno's a cheetah, Abbacchio's a wolf, Narancia's a spotted hyena, Mista's an african wild dog, and Fugo's a brown hyena. Fugo's got vitiligo to merge his white and blond designs since I like em both. Giorno's also a wolf, but he's got felid characteristics and mannerisms

Art completed: August 5th, 20204; February 24th, 2024; May 7th, 2024
