The topic I was assigned was Stendhal Syndrome, which refers to a case where a person becomes momentarily excited or shows physical symptoms after viewing an outstanding work of art.
So, I tried to create an overall image that emphasizes the image of a work of art. And the distorted color effect of that work of art represents the artwork you encounter before it collapses.
I made a cover for the story of an artist suffering from Stendhal Syndrome. So, what should I say? Even when I look at my own work, it's so beautiful... I'm going crazy...? Maybe it's accompanied by a bit of narcissism... The title, Mad Artist, refers to a crazy artist, and the subtitle, "I'll hug you even if I suffocate to death," is a phrase that describes an artist who continues to obsess over his art despite the difficulty in breathing, a typical symptom of Stendhal Syndrome.
I tried to create it with the feel of an oil painting. I added focus lines and images to focus on the characters, and placed the title in a small font in the lower left corner so that it could be perceived as the artist's signature.
I wanted to capture the image of an artist trapped in a fantasy world. So, to express fantasy, recollection, or anything unreal, I used photographs with a blurred feel, and I adjusted the colors to make them look like they were taken with a film camera.
I wanted to capture the final touch of a finished painting, like spraying a shiny, liquid-like substance onto it. By intensifying the colors, I wanted to add a hallucinatory quality to this. I also wanted to add a bit of a watercolor feel, but honestly, I added it, but it's not noticeable.
I don't do art so I'm not sure what genre it is exactly... but I think I saw a picture like this somewhere so I made it and I'm satisfied with it. It looks like a really crazy and poisonous person... or like a Harley Quinn... Anyway, I like it.
Actually, I wasn't going to make this, but since there are only 5 members, I thought I should make them all while I'm at it, so I made them, but I'm not really satisfied with them... Anyway, to explain, if the one above was a work of art, this one is a musician. That's all...
My self-evaluation is... overall, not bad... and considering it's been a while since I've made a piece, I think it's quite a work of art...
