Today we will take a look at this 4 year old photos.
One thing you probably don't know about me is that I am a big fan of steampunk and cyberpunk imagery. So around 4 years ago, following some online tutorial I made a pair of steampunk goggles for a Halloween party but after investing several hours working on them I thought it would be cool to use them in a photoshoot.
As an artist, my superpower is creating. To create stuff you need ideas. You need to create concepts, explore them and decide what stays and what goes. And this is what I wanted to illustrate in this image.

Later on, after my first image got published on 1x.com, I did a follow-up on it trying to show, in the same manner, another situation in an artists mind. Sometimes you just have a good day and everything is pure inspiration for you so when you start to create you have a jar full of ideas waiting for you to pick one.
