PACE YOURSELF
Patrick Gañas reveals the backstory behind his creature and the challenge he faced in the design
“This artwork follows the story of a creature I designed called Kapre. It depicts a world that lulled the Kapre to sleep with a spell that he broke a century later. Waking from his trance, he remembered a fire that swallowed his children. Having forgotten that he caused the fire, he unleashed his rage on anything in his path. In his wake, peace will slumber, and the world shall know wrath. The sheer number of heads in this artwork called for perseverance. Enjoying the process makes it easier, including the breaks in between. Remember that pacing is king.”
