Overall Reflection on MONSTERS WITHIN ME THAT THEY CAN'T SEE

overall reflection MONSTERS INSIDE ME THAT THEY CAN'T SEE.

My thoughts on it:

The Project means the heart and soul to me, but it was a shame that I had to conclude it after 3 pieces and a rejected one. It was meant to be four full pieces, the only thing I wish I could have is more time to complete it.

Although I was given an extension, my capability was 3 pieces, which was not that satisfying to me, I had so much more to convey and many more messages to deliver in MONSTERS WITHIN ME. However, each piece takes me approximately 3 days to complete, along with the rejected piece, I feel like I shouldn't have invested in it too much to the point where it felt regrettable to tap out, but I saw no point in carrying on any further.

The first struggle I had was with the concepts, I had great concepts but they all went down the drain at the end of the day as I could not come to how to put it in a painting, which made me have to come up with several dozens of concepts and compositions which to be frankly, took the most time out of all.

The painting process was very much a pain, had to create many many layers in order to keep the painting in order, however I ended up messing them up anyways, I might need to remind myself next time. From the painting process of the human body and background and the monsters, they all took me tremendous amount of time as I wanted everything to look as smooth as possible, so it was quiet a lot of blending.

I can stress how unsatisfied I am with myself, however, this series of paintings is what I really put my heart into, and although not enough, it concluded with stunning results that went far more than what I expected would be, if only I had more time as I want to have a series of five paintings instead of three.
