Naoto Hattori : his work and mine

Naoto Hattori's Work
Naoto Hattori's work is more of creating things which come out of his head- his thoughts... his pieces are mostly womens heads with things around them, which to me looks like their ego/ alter ego/ thoughts/ desires/ other side of them.

I decided to create pieces focusing on heads.

                    CAT CREATURE

The first piece - a cat woman who at first I was going to make into a bear - my friends usually call me me Tessy bear - so i was going to make it into a character of myself but let my thoughts work on it, and it turned into a half cat woman thing/ person.




I used acrylic and poster paint which are quite heavy/thick paints which is probably why the cat piece looks dark/gloomy/creepy - the more layers - the more creepy (for me anyway).
My work usually ends up looking creepy, this maybe because of the medium i use - 
Jazz and Rain
I decided to use a lighter paint ( water colour) on another piece related to Naoto's work, which looks much more fluffy/cute - friendly and not creepy.... The eyes are still big and odd but it looks light. I think it shows the characters feelings/ persona very well = A jazzy Character expected to be happy all the time but he/she is surrounded by sadness.
