Extending from the perspective of the attitude towards death, I can't forget the kitten that once left me, so in this 3D I want to have a feeling that the dead cat is with me.
In terms of styling, my idea is that it can be a little exaggerated, distorted, and even a little weird but reveals a little cute feeling.

Several details
An exaggerated cat skeleton surrounds a masked figure.
I don't want to forget death and pain, but I also don't want to indulge in death and forget real life.
Therefore, I will try to distort and exaggerate the shape as much as possible while maintaining the original shape. The shape is distorted but reveals the feeling it is true.

When thinking about my own positioning, in addition to analyzing the process in Project 1 and Project 2 and the motivation of my personal creation, I also need to think about the relationship between creative forms and personal positioning. The author’s positioning clearly expresses the content to a certain extent, which needs to have a certain story or basic existence value, so this factor needs to be added when conceiving the main project.

He thinks he is good at painting but has no experience in drawing manga, so he went to study painting alone. In 1995, at the suggestion of a cartoonist assistant, Tsutomu submitted the short story "BLAME" to "Monthly Afternoon", and the result was immediately responded, and an editor was willing to be his responsible editor. This work also won the 1995 Afternoon Four Seasons Appreciation Summer Short Work Special Award, and developed into a serial in 1997, allowing him to officially debut as a cartoonist.

In order to preserve the paper texture and smudged texture, as well as the color of the paper itself, compared to the high exposure of the scanner, I chose to use the method of focusing and lighting and then shooting with a camera to turn traditional paintings into electronic ones, although The tradeoff is a loss of finesse, it's still worth it.

Xuan Paper and prepared Chinese Ink
As a traditional Chinese paper, Xuan paper has a history of thousands of years.
Because the unique craftsmanship is very different from the paper used in today's society. It not only has its own unique texture, but also has good ink penetration and diffusion effects, and can smudge a large area.

A large area of blank space is kept as much as possible in the composition, using that blank space and omissions can be used to assist in expressing emotions.

In these outcomes, I hope to use more traditional painting forms to express a feeling that death itself is a peaceful thing.

At this point in the research, I am still contradictory, so I began to try to paint an idealized result, like a preserved specimen, which can be regarded as a kind of hope and a kind of companionship.

The characteristics of the bone itself can be preserved for a long time. After my kitten passed away, I also actively contacted several taxidermists through the Internet, but because of the weather, I could not preserve it in this way.

Although there has been a lot of research before doing this outcome, it is really difficult to use many descriptions when describing after the painting is finished.
The overall outcome is not very related to the initial idea and the intermediate research attempts, and the relationship between different experiments is actually not very close, but each experiment is a process that starts after being inspired by the previous research, although the experiments are quite different between each other in the expression techniques and forms, the overall core and ideas are advanced along with the main ideas.

German philosopher Martin Heidegger put forward a philosophical idea in his ontological masterpiece "Being and Time". In the book, he discusses the concept of death in detail with rational reasoning and finally gives an ultimate answer to how people face unavoidable death: the countdown method in the sense of life - "live towards death".
As Schopenhauer said: "Death is only the moment when the brain ceases to function and consciousness disappears."

The death philosophy in the Middle Ages emphasized the meaning of death, asserting that "if you can't die, you can't live", modern death philosophy is the opposite, emphasizing the meaning and value of existence, and regards the principle of self-survival or self-preservation as the first philosophy. The principle of ignoring and avoiding death is obviously a negation of the medieval philosophy of death; the modern western philosophy of death criticizes the attitude of ignoring and avoiding death adopted by modern death philosophers, denouncing it as the loss of "self" or "Sinking" re-emphasizes the meaning of death, and regards death as the "most own possibility" of life. This is undoubtedly a negation of modern death philosophy, but for medieval death philosophy, it is a "negation of negation".

Luckily, so far I have not lost any significant relatives, but I lost my very favorite cat years ago, and this incident has deeply affected me until now.
Also, it was during that time that I heard different words from my mother.
"You look like you don't care now, your tear was a crocodile's tear" and "You can't be sad forever".
This caused me to think about what kind of attitude we should use to face death.
I don't want to forget death and the parting that has to be accepted, but neither should people indulge in pain.

This experiment is the one that I think has the most potential. Combining and creating different fruits and bones from different parts has become a series, and more attempts will be made in the future.
In this unit, I am still thinking about the connection between me and the audience. The result of this experiment is more like a feasible graphic design, which can be well used in packaging or graphic display, but A fusion of "life and death" is not an idea I want to express.
Compared with the previous research, the content conveyed this time has made some progress, but I still need to find an entry point, so I realized that I can use the Based on previous research and my personal experience.

This time I tried to disassemble and fuse two completely different items together.
The apple symbolizes pleasure in Greek mythology and is used to seduce the relationship between the sexes. To a certain extent, the apple also symbolizes new life.
When studying human bones, I found that the human hip bone is similar to an apple in overall shape, so I tried to combine these two things together for creation.
Try to make the outer contour have a feeling of fluctuating and melting so that the two concepts of "life" and "death" can be integrated together.

After doing so much research, my attitude toward death hasn't changed, death itself is still something that scares me, but I thought I could at least use a different mood to try to talk and think about death.
Don't let fear become the way to escape enjoying life.
So I started to try to paint with out-of-the-ordinary forms or colors, adding bright colors to the dull gray in my original impression.
In this experiment, I tried to use bright pink as the main color to paint the bones of the fish.
Fish is a common food when I was growing up. Treating a familiar item is not easy to combine with death, so I chose fish bones as the main body. At the same time, bright pink will weaken the serious atmosphere to a certain extent, adding light green and bright blue makes the whole image more lively.

As a symbol, the bone itself symbolizes death.
Although I have an indescribable affection for bone and the bionic design of bone, death is the thing I am most afraid of. This thing bothered me for a long time during my research.
I often realize from time to time that people cannot avoid death. No matter what mood I am in at the moment, how peaceful life seems will not change, but one day I will eventually die.
Whenever this thought comes to me, I will fall into deep fear, resulting in the inability to act and accompanied by severe panic. He is like a ticking time bomb, attacking from time to time.
And since I was very young, whenever I think of death, there will be a scene in my mind. The whole environment is fuzzy gray, and there are four pillars standing in the middle, and my coffin is in the middle.
I have discussed death with the elderly, and I have seen descriptions and understandings of death in many movies and TV shows. I also understand that death makes life more meaningful, and death, like time, is irreversible. It is precise because of this special Sex, things after death, living people have no way to understand.

Punk, born in the mid-seventies, is one piece of simple rock music derived from garage rock and pre-punk rock in the sixties. Punk music does not pay much attention to musical skills, but is more inclined to emancipate the mind and stand against the mainstream. This original intention was actively emulated in the United Kingdom and the United States under the specific historical background of the 1970s, and eventually formed the punk movement.
The emergence of PUNK is not only in the music world, but also affects fashion, graphic graphics, video, and interior decoration. A writer Malcolm Mclaren said "If punk was just about music this thing would have died years ago" "punk is the most important event in post-war Britain."

Someone thinks Skeleton culture originated from punk. It is the standard equipment of rock singers in the 1970s and 1980s, and the skull is like a symbol, representing the spirit of rebellion and avant-garde. With the advent of the new punk style, those extreme and individual elements were adopted by designers and became a trend pursued by many people.

The content of the etching this time is mainly based on the imitation spine design on the back of the dress.
This is when I realized that my love for bones actually comes from my passion for spines.
The spine has the functions of supporting the trunk, protecting the internal organs, protecting the spinal cord, and performing sports. It can be said that most of the behaviors of the human body are due to the spine.
The shape of the spine is that similar bones are neatly overlapped and repeated, and the shape is also very graceful while moving flexibly.

Looking back at the different attempts made based on the concept of bones, they are actually an expression of inner thoughts, but they are all limited to a small part, and they are not comprehensive enough when they need to be used and communicated with the audience.
But in the process of these experiments, I have gained knowledge and understanding of more materials and forms, and here can also lay a good foundation for the main project.

The use of this symbolic language in history

# data[].attributes.body
In European paintings, the image of a "skeleton" prevailed in the 16th and 17th centuries, and it usually appeared together with candles, flowers, fruits, hourglasses, or bubbles, implying death, aging, and nothingness where things decay and everything returns to zero.
This type of painting, classified as "Vanitas" (Latin), is symbolic art.
This extreme portrayal of life is due to the bloody centuries in Europe:
The Black Death in the middle of the 14th century killed more than one-third of Europe's population;
The Great Schism of the Catholic Church and the Hundred Years War between England and France, which lasted until the middle of the 15th century, further shattered Western European society;
The religious reform movement that swept across Europe in the 16th century impacted people's beliefs, all of which prompted people to frequently and deeply think about the topics of life and death, and think about the meaning of life.
No matter how extravagant the scenes and how gorgeous the nobles' clothes are, the theme of this kind of paintings is the same - in the face of inevitable death, all the pomp of the world is pale and meaningless, that is, "Remember that you will die".

While watching different interviews and explanations of design concepts, I realized that the bone itself is a distinctive symbol in culture and history. Nick believes that the skull is artistic, distinctive, and bold.
I understand that I can investigate the symbolic culture of bones, and then use its own characteristics to combine my thinking and attempts.
This not only allows me to create better, but also communicates more directly and clearly with my audience on the existing group consciousness.

This is the first potential outcome, but it has some glaring problems.
In fact, the design of the mask does not break away from the existing concept very well. There is a certain degree of convergence and homogeneity.
At the same time, there are a lot of details that I want to add, which makes the mask itself not introduction enough.
At the same time, the mask as an outcome is difficult to connect with my audience in terms of expressing the true self. When there are too many previous synopsis and introduction, it is more like a fan-art-work than a 3D work. , so I need to start some new directions and investigations.

When I started trying to design a mask, here the mask could be understood as the repressed true self.
Many times the real self needs to be suppressed, and social interaction with a relatively gentle side.
Exaggerated masks remind me of Halloween, a day when people find the opportunity to make a grotesque look, and even people with physical defects can be completely bold and act with their real faces on this day.

BLEACH, by Japanese manga artist Kubo Taito, tells the story of a world where the god of death exists and fights against a monster named Hollow to protect humans and ghosts after death.
This is my favorite work, and it is also the work that inspired me to start painting. When I look back at this work, the character design in it makes good use of the texture of bones as a mask.
This mask represents a certain power beyond oneself, but it is uncontrollable and difficult to own, and if not careful, it would cost life.
