This is Sassy, my cat, mashed together with a cat skull. I’m going to cut the layers out of paper using different colors to create depth in this piece. I plan to use lighter colors closer to the center of the artwork where the shapes would protrude most from the paper when the cats face is mounted to the paper. Leaving the edges darker allows the design to look like it is gradually moving out of the paper and into a 3D form. The skull is colored to look like bone and the background of the skull is varied shades of dark gray\/black to give the vague outline of the cat but draw focus to the skull and its texture. I also wanted to make the skull look almost like an x-ray of the cat’s head or like a mask. I also plan on making the eye color of the cat green in the final as well because it will provide an additional focal point in the piece that can help center the viewers eye and help with alignment for the viewer of the cats’ skull with the cats face by providing distinct facial feature markers. Some of the pieces will need different sizing as I start to think this out more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I thought doing faces using different layers was really cool and I knew I wanted to do something along those lines. I also really loved the idea of a skull and I’m obsessed with cats. This design also reminds me of my tarot card set. The blue faces and skull pictures are what I used as my inspiration for this design and they were created by Shelley Castillo on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is Sassy, my cat, mashed together with a cat skull.
