First Blockout:

I started to sculpt the base shape of the model using ZSpheares in Zbrush. Once I had the silhouette that I liked, I roughly sculpted the ribs, some muscles and the head.

However, even if I liked the posing of the character, I was not satisfied with the head. I believe it looked weird and too alien. So moving forward, I replaced the head with the one from the previous project and I sculpted it to match the design of the new character.

At this stage I also worked on the base shapes of the props: cupboard, staff, lantern and belt.

To add more story to the character and make it visually intriguing I also wanted to add chains around the cupboard. To learn how to do that, I looked on tutorials on how to make chains in Blender. After trying some different variation, I found a tutorial that would make the chain be procedural, which helped me tremendously when modeling it around the cupboard.

In the end, I managed to make the chains and I was pleased with the results.

I made the shape of the chain in order to have three points of intersection between them. I will further add the locks in those three points.

Collaboration is massively important in the fashion industry.  Fashion designers can collaborate with artists, tech companies, accessory brands, sports brands, musicians, films, etc., and reach a wider audience as well as broadening their skills. To me one of the most notable Art and Fashion Collaborations of all time would be the one that started it all, and my personal favourite- Elsa Schiaparelli X Salvador Dali.  These two collaborated many times during the 1930s and 40s, creating some amazing pieces and allowing each other respect and entry within their respective worlds.  Dali worked his way into Parisian high society and Schiaparelli gained respect of the major artists of the time, especially with so many of them hanging out in Paris. Collaborative efforts include the Skeleton dress, the Tear Dress, and my favourite, the Lobster dress, among many others.  In 2017, the Met held an exhibition of the amazing collaborative works of this dynamic duo.

I was looking for a film I heard Tacita Dean made related to CY Twombly, I couldn't find it.
