Beginning year 3 projects to continue drawing my new blueprints which involves in large-scales developments, building my models to extensive heights instead of using reused-foam from last-year. Focusing onto skeletal methods leading to searching for woodworks near the design-wing, plasterworks near reception asking technicians-Robin and Nick for advice around equipment.
- Showing my diagrams to craft my prototypes of lion/gorilla replicas
- Characteristics of mythical-animals within Japanese-culture
- Experimenting Pokemon-evolutions for their large-scales to manipulate in AV-Loans workshops
- Molded my prototypes in plaster, giving them perfect appearances
- Smooth-trimming their outer-surface
- Making them look mythical
- Wooden-shaver to trim wood-surface
- Add stronger wood with another piece
- Wood-glue and drill together
- Stabilise body of work without breaking-apart
- Covered via chicken-wire, giving them appearances
- Hessian-fabric to wrap my models dipped in plaster
- Doodle-paint in black lines around bodies and colour-patterning
- Almost building a familiar-model of a Trojan-Horse
Manipulating with metal-wiring is easy but with needed protection of reinforces-gloves avoiding cut/scratches carefully metal-bend these wires in several ways after another.
- Shaping inner-structures into a creature of my imaginations, adapting to Japanese-influence
- Gathering materials at B&Q warehouse
- Molded all models in plaster getting them to studio, real challenge
- Maximum 4 people to transport via trolley took a month in October

- Sightseeing in plaster-room to manufacture my large-scale figures
- Used dipping combinations of hessian-fabric/ceramics-powder
- Resulted in my models weigh a ton adjustments in trimming to ease their weight
- Measuring weighs, lengths and height of each area of my replicas
- Mixture of bright-acrylics to doodle-paint separate slots
- Given my prototypes dazzling appearances in evolution sharing beauty/frightening results
- Revealing Solgaleo/Rillaboom’s characteristics
- Setting up a theatre-background with my monsters in a gurgle-match
- Putting up a theatre turning my studio-space into a dueling stage to two-beasts fighting for territory
- Attached marble eyes to my gorilla
- Reflections of Legendary-Pokémon and Peter-Jackson’s King-Kong
- Codenames: Blazing-Solgaleo and Grillboom
- Two models sharing face to face of different-oppositions
Positioned my two-alphas staring face-to-face as ancient rivalry with each of their open-spaces at floor 9/Crit-room. Audience given me feedback, they really like my animals-presence even if hunted in wildlife.
- Manufactured animal fur/patterning supplies
- Mounted as living-trophies
- Focusing on Petrit-Halilaj’s role of setting a home-turf stage with desert/rainforest props.
- Using MDF hardwood to buzz-saw them into desert/forest props
- Setting up fire/blooming-forest via two dueling-habitats
- Once stabilized I’d coated them in white-paint then decorated
- Sorting my visual-props once positioned near my beasts
- Adjusting studio-lights given them inner dimensional state
- Opportunity of putting on a visual-theatre
- Studying on my phase 2 “Nocturnal-Beasts” to work on Solgaleo’s counterpart Lunala representing eternal-night throughout mix-media techniques
