Will mainly be personnel interpretations of the ancient gods, and original creatures with some pieces falling out of this category once in awhile. en-us 2017-09-28 11:37:09 UTC 2024-04-29 19:30:31 UTC hello@padlet.com wrivera19 https://padlet.com/wrivera19/ejo29oqly8ha/wish/192012705 The piece is meant to display the metaphor: "The White Teeth of The Crocodile Are Like Daggers".

I tried my hardest to bring out the color blue, as it's the main color of this piece.

I was inspired by the old metaphor; "The Crocodiles Teeth are like Shinning White Daggers". The concept may be hard to see, but it's there. As a child, we are all dazzled and tempted by the beautiful fire on top the candle, not knowing how lethal it really is. The metaphor speaks of how beauty kills, and a flame to a child is the perfect real life version of this metaphor. In order to create this piece, I had to look inside and observe what inspired me from this old metaphor. I had to use both Prisma-color and Crayola brand coloring pencils and 80 pound paper to make my piece. Now that I'm reflecting on this piece, I'm very proud of what I was able to accomplish with such simple, low cost materials. There were times when I would become absolutely frustrated with the shading and shaping of my imagery, but with some advice and determination I managed to engage and persist in order to complete my piece. ]]> 2017-10-06 17:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/wrivera19/ejo29oqly8ha/wish/194778075
