It's really the first Wednesday in February already! That means it's time for another installment of the Insecure Writer's Support Group, created by Alex J. Cavanaugh. Visit him and the main IWSG Website to join us in the fun.
The optional question for this month is: Has a single photo or work of art ever inspired a story? What was it and did you finish it?
I haven't had a photo or work of art inspire a whole story, but I have used art as inspiration for characters, monsters, etc. Most prominent is the design of the iron giants in Fractured Princess, which I modeled after Umberto Boccioni's "Unique Forms of Continuity in Space."
My version isn't as scary as Boccioni's, but I meant for it to be. D'ah well.
What about you all?

Ooh, fascinating. Such a cool inspiration for your iron giants' design!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm sure if I applied myself, I could make it look a little more like it lol
DeleteI can see it though!
ReplyDeleteGood! :D
DeleteLovely to know how your monster was inspired by a piece of art. I’d never heard of that artist though, so I can’t judge how scary his monster is.
ReplyDeleteIt's the statue above my sketch. :)
DeleteWow! Your giant is impressive. I love that the sculpture provides 3-d detail.
DeleteSuch a striking sculpture!
ReplyDeleteI love it. Just imagine it about 12 feet high lol
