I’ll just start here.

The ground is the separation of life and death, which is also the only condition based on which love is forced to end while still being felt. Naturally the arm is coming out from the heart, beyond the grave, trying to hold on to the loved one desperately. it’s supposed to look morbid and creepy because of the context of the film.

I really like the significance of the design w.r.t the quote. It’s also quite creepy which is a nod to the entire tone of the film. That part was especially creepy and that’s why the quote stuck with me even though I have most of the script memorised :-)))))

The ground-y texture was used to give the “hand coming out from under the ground” feel in a way similar to the original in the video above.

The bait in this image is the human head (to represent the human bait) and the fish is half a gun because gun:human just as fish:bait (aim is to catch and end their lives).

I manipulated the scale and proportion on this one. The head is small in comparison to the gun-fish to correspond to the size comparison between fish and bait. Also the form of the fish was altered because while the head on the hook is more obvious of what it’s supposed to be (the bait), a floating gun wouldn’t have done anything except look like a floating gun. So it was edited to look like a fish.

Initially the gun was left in full with only the fish head removed but laoshi was right when she said it looked too disjointed. So the handle was removed to look more properly fish-y. The scale was also adjusted because in the original one, the bait looked way too big in comparison to the fish because the fish was too small.

I think this image is quite literal, with the eccentricity being symbolised by the test tube and the beer bottle is the drunkenness, both spilling in to the person’s brain filled with knowledge on other things.

I found this image to be a bit static even though I edited it from the original (which felt even more stiff) below.

The elements in this original felt very isolated – like just a single brain with 2 bottles floating over it. So  tried editing it to make the tube and the bottle flow together with the brain so that the eyes move in that direction from the bottles to the pouring to the brain itself to give a bit of unity to the entire image, the eyes following a circular motion.

This is my favourite quote, and my favourite image. The girl + the wings represent the “good”, and the “illuminati” symbol represents the supposed “evil” – which is why it was scaled to be the same shape as the other eye. So it shows even the good dabbles a little bit in the bad in order to achieve good. The moon represents the world they are protecting, and also a nod towards superheroes like batman who usually save the world at night (which is also largely what they did in the movie). The illuminati symbol was integral to the film (Free Masons) and kind of is the basis for this quote.

So the cherub is meant to be an innocent man, who appears to be part of the “bad” (illuminati symbol) but in reality is still the angel (wings) who tries to protect others (moon).

The moon was scaled down to the size of the head in a sort of Justinian-like halo pattern because that’s to represent the good of the person. The moon was used instead of the earth to symbolise the night, and since the night symbolises darkness, these kinds of people = angels of the night. There is also unity, which is shown by the entire design fitting within a circular form (except for the wings that stick out but overall it fits within the circle).

I’ll include the process and the reflection in the next post-
