Elektra

Elektra is Charlie Sparks' world tour, and the artwork follows the artist. Each edition takes an animal and renders it through a visual language tied to the artist's Asian heritage, so a run of dates across three continents still reads as one body of work.

The animal is the constant. The treatment is not: a panther cast in black, koi driven through a water simulation, a character pressed into cloth. The fish in the ADE tank run on a node graph, not keyframes, each with its own fin motion falling off from nose to tail. Every edition also takes its own colour, which separates the dates at a glance.

A snake coiled around a katana, chrome scales on a blue field. The camera starts on the blade itself and runs down it to the guard before it finds the head.

Two cuts from the same build, shot to work as a pair in a feed: one wide enough to carry the lineup, one tight enough to read at thumbnail size.
