Not quite.

Moving into dicing has proven tougher than I thought. The sketch was pretty rough but the result was  worse than that! Decided to remove the dicing and stick with slicing this time.

Sekaido Slices - Drafts

I'm a little slow on the off take this year but a one month deadline on the annual Sekaido comp means  it's crunch time.

Just some sketching and acrylin to see what's good.

Slicing and Dicing

Settled on a theme, time to get pencil to pad.

After a bit of experimenting with grids, dabbled with the sliding pixels.

Cubes add depth to the work - previous attempts pixelating visuals into 2d didn't work out. 

Maybe it's getting a little muddled, but dripping and drooling is gonna add to that floating effect.

Slices

Sliced is a theme started a couple of years back, focusing on contours and form.

Floating is an element that I hadn't really explored, so looking into it now should breath new life into it.

The apple melting from a few weeks back got me into the blobs look.

It's another way to describe the form and emulate movement.

Apple Bits

Wanted to get the ball rolling here so didn't spend too long on it.

Slicing and splitting is going to be the next step. Decided on apples to start with to better understand shading and not get too caught up on details.

Just a couple of hours here so pretty pleased with the outcome.

Slices

Not quite where I want to be but I'll take it.

This kind of floating look needs a lot of work.
