Inkblot Test manga

THE CONCEPT OF PEOPLE PERCEIVING THE SAME THING DIFFERENTLY EXCITED ME. I ALWAYS REMEMBERED THE RORSCHACH INKBLOT TYPE TEST THERAPIST WOULD USE ON THEIR PATIENTS. SO, I WANTED TO CREATE MY OWN BUT NOT FOR ACTUAL MEDICAL USE. I TRIED DEFERENT TYPES OF PATTERNS AND IMAGES, BUT NOTHING CAME FROM IT. SEEING MANGA AND HOW THE FRAMES AND TEXT BLENDED TOGETHER SEAMLESSLY GAVE ME THE INSPIRATION I NEEDED. TAKING HEAVY INSPIRATION FROM MANGA I LIMITED MYSELF TO ONLY 6 PANELS THAT ARE THEN COPIED AND REFLECTED TO CREATE THE FULL IMAGE, THE PANELS RELATE TO THE ONES YOU MIGHT SEE IN A MANGA THAT ARE BOUND BY PAGE. EACH PANEL IS AN IMAGE ON ITS OWN AND BY TURING THE PANEL UPSIDE DOWN CREATES SOMETHING NEW AND IF YOU’RE CLOSE THEN STEP AWAY, YOU’LL SEE SOMETHING DIFFERENT. ALSO RELATING TO MANGA, I KEPT THE WORK IN BLACK AND WHITE. THE IMAGES ARE SCREENSHOTS OF DIFFERENT ANIME SERIES THAT I COME ACROSS. I THEN DATA CORRUPT THE SCREENSHOT TO WHERE THE ORIGINAL SCREENSHOT IS ALMOST UNRECOGNIZABLE AND TAKE THE COLORFUL, ABSTRACT, PUZZLED IMAGE AND CONVERT IT TO BLACK AND WHITE. ONCE THAT’S FINISHED I HAVE NOW 1 OF 6 PANELS I NEED FOR THE FULL IMAGE. EARLY IN THE WORK I DECIDED TO PLACE TWO DARKER PANELS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE IMAGE, I DID THIS BECAUSE IT CREATED A NICE CONTRAST TO THE OTHER PANELS AND BECOMES A FOCUS POINT TO LOOK AT. ALL THE PIECES ARE PART OF A NONLINEAR STORY.
