For this project I was instructed to draw “a flower with tentacles and a snout,” which is what I did. As a last minute idea I added a baby one, and after a mistake I added laser eyes blowing up a planet. This all takes place in the void. I used a piece of paper I found around my house, a pencil to sketch, a black pen to outline, and markers to color. After I finished my drawing and coloring I cut out a rectangle around my piece. As soon as I read the prompt I knew what I was going to do. I made the petals tentacles as well as the stem, though the “stem” and “petals” look a lot different from each other. I knew I wanted it to look even weirder than the prompt was, so I used the prompt to my advantage and not only had the one
It originally started out as just the one flower in the center of the paper, but then my sister recommended I add something in the background because it would take up more space, which is where the baby and the exploding planet came in.
The story behind this piece is there was a lab accident and an octopus-pig mutant hybrid escaped its tank and somehow reached the experimental plant hybrid section of a lab. They reproduced (somehow) and thus this was created. I like to believe this is what a bacteria actually looks like.
