Late at night in the kitchen
"Last night I was waken up by strange noises coming from the kitchen, so I sneaked to the source of the mysterious gigglings. What I witnessed can't be described with words, so I took some pictures to prove I'm not that mad yet. I was able to catch the very instant when they panicked spotting me, fleeing in haste and leaving behind nothing but a white trail of sugar" The inspiration for this funny project came from the anime "Arrietty" and the videogame "Zelda and the Minish cap". This is a 1:1 scale diorama. Usually modelists glimp beyond the bare nature of things, finding for them an alternative role in the miniature world. In this way, a toothpick becomes a pole, birch seeds are leaves and cork bits make great rocks. In this case however, everything is just what it's supposed to be, in its 1:1 dimension: ivy leaves, matches, buttons and even a poor insect I found dead last summer. Due to the difficulties in taking good pictures of the final diorama, I included closeups taken during the works in progress. I painted a lot of details that now can't be seen anymore, so you have a chance to observe 'em anyway (Note that these are wips, so most received some restyling before going into place). Please feel free to comment, I'm particularly interested in some feedback about the composition and the its comunicative aspect. Thank you :)
