Neighborhood V (Springtail Jump)
Posted: Sun Jan 30, 2022 5:05 am
Hi all! I decided to get back with Maxwell for my personal work. It always delivers on organic nuances of color and light. I also used Realflow 10 for the liquid simulation.
Description: A springtail is a small insect about the size of 3mm. It uses a special tail called the "furcula" to launch itself. This particular one is of the semi-aquatic kind. I was inspired by watching a video by AntLab (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXeSnWY6DNc). I thought it was the most amazing gymnastics trick in nature. lol
Some creative decisions were made for color design. I've settled on experimenting with the NCS color wheel. It uses a different set of primary colors, and I made an interpretation to help me organize the piece. The "past" was interpreted as the Red/Green colors and the "future" Blue/Yellow. The present is a bit of a mixture of all these primaries. The reason why I chose that color set distinction is because I tend to think the future to be "bright" and "happy" so Blue/Yellow usually goes well together, in contrast to Red/Green.
Thanks!
