PROCESS
This piece is one of my thought out artwork. It has been sitting in my brain for some time now. I don't even know what triggered it. I guess it was over the weekend when Hive climbed to $0.28, and some articles I read on @leofinance about a possibility of a bull run. Maybe, it the accumulation of all those stuffs I research on that lead to this piece. So, yesterday, I couldn't hold it anymore, that's when I started scribbling it down.
Initially, I wanted him to wear a VR. I already sketched it. But I changed it later. Also, the problem I had here was the colors to use. I was experimenting with a lot of them, but still, It wasn't giving me what I want, I won't lie to you, I almost gave up.
So, I decided to tone down the colors and start with a single color; purple, since it was my base color, and from there I can work things up. Also, I ripped his clothing to expose his bare chest, because I have something to put up there soon.
This is where the horn came in. I needed something to represent the bull run, and what a beauty it was, when I placed them there. Also, I added the Hive people necklace. You'll see it clearly in the close-up.
I added some details and lighting to the Horn. It turns out to become a WAKANDA VR, and I love the texture on it. I used the texture brush from Aaron Griffin brush set for 2020. Also, did you see that thing that pops out from his nose? I wanted to paint a nose ring, but it's turned out to look like someone's hand. It was cool, so l allowed it, even though it was creepy to me.
Here, I painted in a Hive mark on his chest. That's what I told you guys earlier about. Now, that he has Hive engraved in his heart, he's with us.
THESE ARE THE DIFFERENT VARIATIONS. I had a difficult time choosing which of them to mint. Also, do you see those cryptocurrencies on his clothing, and finally we arrived on the moon?
