🎨 Hawuawuashka tryptocarrier - Original painting + Progress & details
Hawuawuashka tryptocarrier.
Watercolour and black pen on paper. 2018.
32 x 24cm (12,5 x 9,4 in)
A cargo vehicle spotted travelling in the hyperhedron, shot at an absurd 42.64231 parachronial metaspeed (PCMTS) in the neuro-haedron plane GWA TT321119.
The meaty, blobish and cybernetic form is Hawuawuashka. A tier biologic, tier synthetic (nano-based) and tier virtual substance that is known for inducing 72 hours orgasms, sought-after throughout various universes (See "The Technopriests" for cross information).
Travelling in the Hyperhedron is theoretically impossible but in practice it is often done. It can nonetheless provoke partial dematerialisation and structures unentangling.
This artwork is an entry to the "Visionnary art contest" hosted by @elohproject and @slothicorn!
I found the proposed thematic of the "hyperdemensional object" totally fitting with my work since my illustrations and comics are set in a world I built and called "The Hyperhedron".
"Hedron" comes from the greek particle "Hedre". You won't find it alone but attached to words, for instance in "Dodecahedron". Obviously the idea of the Hyperhedron is a sort of technologic, A.I. masterminded multiverse with many planes, reals and virtuals.
Enough meta-wank, let's have a look at the process.
In this painting I used a cheap block with side sticked paper to avoid the watering preparation.
The sides are sticked so it does holds a bit the paper to prevent warping but it is definitely not that efficient as a proper tensing with water like I usualy do (See previous posts with progress reports).
First, a bunch of perspectives lines and a main block. I put some marks around the paper on my table in case I need the vanishing points again (which are also drawn on the table of course!).
After trials and erasings, something appears!
Now, basic inking. Refining the shape in order to get an equilibrated and dynamic composition.
This paper cannot cope with masking fluid, it'd rip off when I'd take it out. So I haven't used any altough I would have liked to. At the end I went brutally on painting the background, going over the central shape, totally scrupleless.
During this part I am usually assaulted by thoughts like "what the hell is this sh...t! I have just ruined all that nice inking" ...
... but I am used to that so I continue. Once the background was "done", I mixed colours (mostly ochres and burnt sienna) with a base of white gouache for a stronger covering and headed straight for the shadow parts of the impossible shape. It'll give quickly more volume and this just helps me to better oversee.
Now getting to the meat. A mix or oranges and crimson red. Just a bunch of rather random clumsy brush strokes.
Let's have a closer look.
Adding the meat shadows, some burnt sienna mixed with blueish.
Adding more ink for the outlines with thinliners. Finally it commences to stick out of this mess. Everything that is beyond the vehicle is left without outlines.
More ink, more details. White acryl, gouache and thinliners for the touch up. And again shadows and light.
All right, after much more splats and details ... we're at 99,999% or the final render.
Remember, I used a rather cheap paper and I haven't tensed it. So, at the end it had like a hollow in the middle. After having waited it to be absolutely dry, I have gently wet its back. Then put the front side down on a clean board, put kitchen paper on top (so on the back), then a glass, then a carton, then a heavy pile of books and weights. Waited the night, .. and got a perfectly flat artwork!
Ah! And during the work, I have mostly listened to "Pollen", an album from an obscure 70's French psychedelic band called "Pulsar". I have also listened to the audio books of H.P. Lovecraft, "The temple" and "The nameless city".

Thanks again! Please don't forget to
This is really just awe inspiring. And I love that you create a world to illustrate. I love to do this as well.
Your use of colour is so good in building up your piece and seeing it from the straight lines of your initial drawing is really amazing. I love seeing all the different way we work, yet a great sketch and build up seems to be the genesis of life in artwork and I love seeing it form. Great process shots to help us see this happen!
Thank you very much for the nice words @donnadavisart!
I guess for for a comic book, you kind of have to create a world, especially if it's a fiction. And yeah it is a very pleasant and rewarding mental exercise to note everything and then trying to get something out of it that makes pseudo-sense :D
Thanks again!
Absolutely amazing work, I'll be following for more!

Thank you @artzone!
This is creativity at its peak, I love your attention to details.
Thanks for that tip on flattening paper too, I sometimes mistakenly splash water on my paper while drawing. I'll surely try this out if it happens again. Screengrabbed!😀
Thank you for appreciating @promisearts!
Depending the quantity but if I splash water on my painting I think I can throw it away after :D
But yeah It can flatten again a painting that is warped.
Great, thanks.
Really awesome post! And I love the finished product- so dope! Cheers!
Thank you very much @caitycat!!

Awesome art and great process. I like your style, it’s really modern and is something that a lot of folks will be drawn to--also your presentation is rad!
Thanks a lot for commenting @lilyraabe! Glad you're appreciating the work and its presentation. Yeah thanks to smartphones and their incredible modern camera features actually, makes it so much easier to take shots during the process.

WOWOW haedre~ always such a master with your concepts !! Love this ! The tension between the organic stuff and the concrete structure is so well captured~ love it!
upvotes and resteems
Thanks for appreciating again Spider!! It can indeed be difficult to manage squared shapes mixing with more blobish ones as they can somehow cancel the dynamic and make the illustration rather floppy. But I am happy how this one turned out!
