Greetings, everyone
Continuing with Jake Parker's #Inktober52 challenge, I put together three of the last prompts: Puppet (24), Lunar (25), and Half (26). You can follow the challenge on Instagram
I came up with the idea of the human puppet, something we can easily conclude we all are to a certain extent. Regardless of all our efforts for individuality and self-reliance, we never know for sure who is really in control, whose master we are serving.
Process
I decided to combine the next two prompts turning a half-moon into a puppeteer pulling the strings of what most humans with access to technology do now.
I started with this concept and even though this is not the customary position of the half-moon, I needed it this way to render the image of the puppeteer.
I tried to draw the laptop with as amny details as possible, although, as always, I lose all that work during the final process.
I added the final details of the moon and hands, connecting the fingers that type frantically, as if under the influence of a careless lunar force.
My black ink marker ran out of ink, so I went with red this time.
I wanted a totally dark background to highlight moon and computer screen, so I used blakc paint. The effect was not the one I expected.
I edited the image to make it look a bit better. No happy with the result, though.
