Summer Project : First Character!

So I've finally finished my first character inspired by and (hopefully) in the style of Josh Taylor. The character is in acrylics, as that is Taylor's most preferred medium to use and coincidentally,mine too. Here's one of Taylor's paintings entitled 'An Executioners work is never done' and my own character which I've unofficially called 'Freak show twins'.


When creating the 'Freak show twins' they started to remind me more and more of the freaky twins in Stanley Kubrick's film' The Shining'. Knowing this i was initially quite apprehensive about continuing to develop them as i felt like i was stealing someone else's idea. However i really like how the character turned out and think it shows my influences and adds and even more 'creepier' feel to the twin's. Salvador Dali once said; 'Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.'
