Okay, this comptition changes everything, i took a look and thought it was right up my street, i'd be a fool not to enter. I have a pretty good idea as well. I am going to produce an image, a model which i will render into a image and paint untill i have created my own Mona Lisa, the one painting which all my previous works are the finger paintings of a toddler compared to what i have in mind. Anyway, this is my idea...
Meet Ravana, the ten headed, twenty armed demon from the Ramayana, the epic poem about Rama, the seventh Avatar of Vishnu, prince of Ayodhya, who's wife Sita gets abducted by the Demon king of Lanka, Ravana, who is defeated by Rama and his army of Monkeys. I have been looking at the ways in which to depict Ravana as the giant robotic creation of a Mad Monk which poses the initial question of how to depict the ten haeds and still make it clear what it is. My idea was to use a giant ball which floats above where his head should be, which is covered in faces. The faces will resemble those found on statues all across India, and the ball will spin in all directions. Each face will have it's own personality.
Here are some initial drawings i have made.
