'The Lion That Stares'

A few months ago, I received a request with a little bit of a twist.

I was given complete freedom on the Rubik Cube commission.

With no direction or requirements, I decided to challenge myself to redefine the Rubikcubism art style and take a step back on my 'normal' approach.

The challenge with Rubik Cube art is detail. As you only have 5 colours to use (I never use green). So I thought it would be a great idea to focus this piece on just detail.

I used the differing pixel method to create as much layers and detail as possible, creating a third eye effect, where the portrait really comes to life from distance.

Sometimes taking a step back from your art and really started from scratch is how you really evolve your own unique art style.
