When making this art piece I set out to make a man, a man with a big nose. I wanted him to have a stoic look as he stared down at the viewer.

I wanted him to not look anything like that which is from our world. He was to not only have a big nose but small eyes that were squinted. I wanted his face to be square and nearly rectangular. He would have a big bottom lip with his mouth making a sort of frown or angered expression. His ears were to be nearly as large as his nose making him look like an elephant. He would be completely hairless apart from the hair on his eyebrows which were to be inclined towards the nose in a close to angered look. He was to be the color of yellow with his shadows being orange and slight hints of red. As for what was to be surrounding him in the background, that would be something that would share his feelings. The background was to be completely black apart from the shapes that were jagged and sharp and outlined in a repeated fashion.
