How many concepts die in your drafts folder? 💀
In the spirit of Inktober, a digital sketch that never saw the light.
This was a lettering-inspired brandmark sketch playing with the letter K and the movement of hair. I archived it before presenting it. Not because I didn’t like it, but because I felt it wasn’t the right direction for that project.
This is how it would probably have looked, there are still things I’d want to refine.
Has it ever happened to you that you discard a concept even though you like it?
Love the idea of sharing concepts that never made it to the final stage! The K and hair movement is a really interesting direction. Do you usually revisit archived concepts later, or do you prefer to leave them behind?
It started with one image.
A skull.
I couldn't stop looking at it. It felt like it was alive and dying at the same time.
So I kept going.
Each version felt like the same soul dying in a new color.
Then I thought… what if it actually moved?
So I took my Firefly images and brought them to life with the new Kling 4.0
No camera.
No studio.
Just one skull and a feeling I had to follow.
This is "Pigment of the Dead."
