Vis Lit: Fall: Aeneas and Turnus

Just going to sum up the points about this idea I made in my sketchbook:

• Looked through IB sketchbook, came across an idea i'd had but hadn't taken past the non-physical concept stage. Aeneas standing over Turnus, inspired by this image by Gustav Dore:

 'The Destruction of Leviathan'

• Want to change the composition though. Instead of having the 'protaganist' of the piece (God in Dore's, Aeneas in mine) smaller than the 'villain', I want it the other way round (Aeneas bigger than Turnus).

• Composition slightly inspired by this piece: (Colours/scale more than poses/character design.)

'Sunwell Plateau Patch Art'

Curiosity: Some photos

First up, some photos I took while wondering Dundee, odd shots of views I don't think many people see. Took them to make the viewer ask themselves 'Where was that taken?'

Can you figure out where these were taken?

Took one more, for two reasons. The first; it's a building under construction, which makes the viewer ask 'What will it look like when it is done?' the second; a personal reason. I have always been curious about cranes. Once they are set up, how do they get them back down?

This particular crane isn't a great example, as I could clearly see it is meant to fold down onto the truck. The cranes I am curious about are the big industrial fuckers that look like this:

I'm not really sure if I actually want to know how they do it, as I quite like having that one question I definately don't know the answer to, a perpetual curiosity, if you will.

Self Portraiture

Some photos I took while dicking around with my webcam. Used for a self portrait, have some images I had in mind while thinking about the portrait, will put them up when i'm not on a mac and actually know how.
