Some Random Chick

For this particular setup I was working from an extremely broad brief: "maybe something inspired by
a microworld on the shell of a ladybug", from a brilliant photo my good friend took. I will be doing a much more detailed
and "world-like" one from the same brief for her later. That will take hours of building and modeling though,
and I did a simpler one now for three reasons: I want to get my friend something sooner rather than later as she
really needs some good things in life, the level of intensive and fiddly development it will take isn't good for
an introductory video about what I do, and actually building complex and detailed worlds from scratch would
fall into a higher price category than the average commission. If you would like something that involved,
please contact me directly and we'll work something mutually good out.
I will be happy to work from very broad instruction ("something joyous and yellow") or
extremely detailed ("a goth marrying a rainbow person surrounded by horses in a rugged mountainous terrain
with at least two horses and a cat") or whatever works for you.
This video was done to show the general way these come about; it did go a bit more straightforwardly
than often because, for once, the little figures stayed where I put them the first time and nobody
fell over mid-work, so it made for a nice tight video for that section.
Enjoy!

The finished picture, about which my friend says:
"I opened the picture and was immediately prickled in gooseflesh. The first thing I noticed and which drew me in was sky and clouds reflected in the pottery.. Just as they were in the ladybird. Entirely opposite and tiny worlds colliding in the most beautiful way! The tiny vase of flowers was such a nice touch, and it actually mirrors the ones I've been cutting from my own garden. You couldn't have more perfectly captured what I saw in that little ladybird shell."
