Clockman

Artwork Finished Projects
1

This is a story about a women, who enjoys life, relaxing and painting. One day, something attracted her attention. There is a new neighbour in the building, moved in next door. He is looking like a nice and decent man. He’s got a car, an apartment, a job, an elegant clothes … but he’s acting strange, always looking at his watch, always in sinhronisation with clock ticking. Like a puppet attached to a clock mechanism. He is a Clockman.

This story represents belief that ticking can be silenced. Faith in art and it’s ability to restore balance in our lifes, by showing us there is a life beyond constant production and consumption. Many people just stucked in everyday routine and forgot to enjoy in life.

Newsprint effect is done with node material using procedural texture based on dots. Blender doesn’t have procedural dots texture, so I made one from 2 wood textures crossover each other.

Probably for your projects you will need to open Node Group to tweak a scale of dots to have nicer results.

Here are samples of newsprint and dots materials:
