Concept

This is definitely subject to change, although if it does it won't be TERRIBLY much.
Anyway, my concept so far for my senior sem is going to be something along the lines of...
Portraiture. They are all going to have a rather dark mood, both in colors used (primarily black and white, most likely charcoal, and possibly highlighting very small pieces of the composition with a color, such as eyes to help convey the message of the piece) and in feeling. I want them to be kind of like gothic portraits, like goth-expressionism (I think I just made up a new style?!) tho I intend them to all have a theme, such as expressions, someone gave me the idea of the seven deadly sins and seven...something virtues which I liked as well. If I go with those, I will probably have my figures sporting overly dramatic expressions like anger, etc. As far as how big the portraits are going to be, not too big, I already have the paper so I need to measure that out, and I am not 100% sure on how much of the figures I'll show, either shoulders up or waist up could be good, probably they will be seated. This is my idea so far, I'll probably just make a new post if I decide to change it.

  1. I think alluding to the theatrical is a good idea... i.e. metal bands, lady gaga, etc. (KISS comes to mind, Ronny James Dio, Ozzy Ozbourne/Black Sabbath) etc. they started a whole genre. There is a great "rockumentary" on VH-1 about this. Even t hough you are not into that kind of music, the same spirit is there, with the theatrical and gothic + S &M ala Judas Priest.
