In my previous post I wanted to show the progress of my VISION project all together, but I'd also like to share some process photos as well. Lately I've been having a lot of fun creating miniatures out of random objects and food packaging. For example, the body of the space-ship is two plastic mushroom containers glued together, and the engine heat-shield is a soup lid from the deli.

I was one of those kids that loved legos but never liked following the directions, and it's been fun looking at the world in that way with my model-making. I intend to get bigger and weirder with this over time, but hope you all like what I'm coming up with so far!

Dark Day

more from me

[justinbenzel]

Since the previous shot was achieved with a lot of post-production work, for this one I decided to go almost full practical. I try not to be too dogmatic about process, or limit myself with preconceived notions of 'the right way' to illustrate. In my opinion, no matter what medium or technique you deploy to get the look you want, so long as you're being intentional about every detail, it's all good.

The idea germinated from a desire to create some cloning tanks that actually glowed, which meant I would need to learn some minor electrical skills. Luckily, American Science & Surplus had both the equipment and expertise I needed to get into it. If you look closely at 2nd BTS shot you can see the diagram they graciously drew for me, showing how to wire the tanks to a switch and a battery cap.

For the figurines I went by Smash Toys & Collectibles and rooted through the miscellaneous drawers. In addition to the dinos I used as the base for my creatures, I also found an awesome translucent jellyfish I couldn't help making the main character. This required me to change the shot into an underwater scene, which was a fun challenge to figure out.

As always thanks for checking out my work! :)

The glow of light The brightness of the lantern Let Huli Jing guide you

A "second part" of the previous post, in which I showed the lantern I had created in 3D. This is a photo of the lantern I crafted out of paper and LED candle light, and then I drew the Huli Jing (more well known as Kitsune to the general public) on it. The lantern's red-yellow glow symbolizes wisdom, luck, prosperity, and wealth in many Asian cultures, while the Huli Jing's warm glow complements the overall cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
