Jyde.

hello world, meet Jyde.

 

after lots of thinking, planning, sketching etc. i have finally started to give birth to the superheroes/villains that i have created in my head. this is just his first draft, i'm still not 100% on what his colouring is going to be like. i do know what his body is going to be like but i also haven't drawn it yet, and i think his hair is going to be blue.

i don't know whether i am going to use paints or felts, but i do know that i am going to practice for a few days before i start. painting has never been my forte.

 

he is primarily based around a recurring nightmare i had as a child until about the age of seven. whenever i closed my eyes at night to go to sleep, i could hear him walking up stairs, getting louder and louder. i never had much of an idea of what he looked like except it was clown-like.

i don't know what his villainous tragic flaw is going to be, but i think it's going to be something around when he has too much fun, he gets too excited, and that excitement quickly turns into sadism. in my head he's slightly retarded and has a terrifying giggle.

 

i feel weird posting this on flickr, possibly because i have dedicated my whole flickr to developing as a photographer and now i am switching media.

i don't know what it is, i just don't feel like photography is my calling anymore. i love to do it, and i will continue posting, but i've been getting incredibly frustrated lately when shooting. like i want to push my hands through the lens and move everything around how i want it.

 

this is the song i hear when i think of Jyde.
