Constellations 07 - Gemini, The Twins
🕑 Added 2019-05-01 03:42:23 +0000 UTC
Gemini is all about the mind and communication and i wanted to bring that into the design! I know he has an early rock singer style but i really wanted to try going for radio personality.
Doing twins for a twin themed constellation is too obvious (though it can turn out on super good results) so i wanted to make it just one! He splits in "half" to sleep, but he's one nevertheless.
Experimenting with his hair was fun! Honestly i took inspiration from Cameo! i wanted a big mouth to focus on his talkative aspect
Also wanted to invest into asymmetry as i wasn't going to make a pair. his body isn't halves but more like,,,, a third and two thirds? Nothing screams asymmetry as much as cubism does to me, so i started incorporating it in the design.
For his clothes i wanted to be very graphic!!! Besides the cubism inspiration, i went for the Triadisches Ballett. It has one of my fav costume designs ever, so it was nice studying it!
I made some studies for his mic as well - i wanted a magical girl vibe so i tried making big fun shapes that somehow incorporated the symbol of gemini ( ♊ )
For his star node i wanted to go even deeper into the cubist motif. I researched a bit of Picasso before doing it! I avoided black and white for the constellation color, but i thought it could look nice in the node.
Also there's a why for the positioning in the tongue! Wanted to tie up with his special ability! The main characters are all from very distinct places in the world, and i wanted a cool reason for them to be able to talk to each other.

incredibly inspired... you kick it out of the park each time floatie! i'm floored. The research that went into this is so impressive.. the cubist inspiration, the radio host persona, the choice of not going half and half but using asymmetry, it's so friggin inspiring! please continue the good work, this series is giving me LIFE!
