Career: I would like to be a character concept artist. But I am still flexible in what I would like to do.

Snippet of a morning routine

Nicole Partridge -Persona (late)

 

Persona is Jax. He’s 19, and in his emo phase. Has cropped bangs, with purple tips, he likes to wear a lot of graphic tees. Tries to be rebellious and confident but often comes across as cringe to others. He’s trying his best though, and genuinely likes what his aesthetic is. He’s also genuinely confident in himself. He quite likes neon colors and will use them in his art as often as possible. As well as paint his nails with neon nail polish. He’s not extremely picky in his music tastes, despite the stereotype for emo kids. Enjoys classic emo, modern emo, and surprisingly musicals. He has severe ADHD, hence why his art tends to be all over the place.

(This might be too much but eh. That’s that) (sorry it’s late)

Roddy Gwilliam, a walk

 With a cat a walk becomes an excursion. 

That is to say, you don't move very far.

A Documented Walk – Michael Peterson

 

This is a walk to church scaled to fit on a grassy field. Above is the experience I had.

The wind was blowing so hard I could scream a song and no one would hear

Sensory Perceptions:

Sun rays shining onto me and clinging to my all black outfit

Crisp breeze against my skin allowing a break from the sun

Wind gushing at me causing me to be unbalanced and making it difficult to persist

The sight of my own reflection in a window shop frightening me

The feeling of awkwardness and embarrassment of people watching me as I cross the street, but it is worth it for a lil sweet treat

Dirt that came from me

Dirt my shuffling feet kicked up

Persona Michael Peterson

 

My persona works a lot more with color and shape. He is in his 30s and is named Michael. Very abstract in personality and with his artwork. More focused on feeling than representation. He is also detached from the world.
