New Chapter, New Updates

Discipulus — Sat, 07 Sep 2013 18:57:02 +0000

After each chapter comes a moment of peaceful solitude in which I like to distance myself from the writing and re-regard the blog for the little system that it is, by updating the wordpress core and its many plugins while adding something new to start fresh with; a photoshoot result widget-slider high up on the main page.

Noli’s Eye Patch

Discipulus — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 19:59:22 +0000

Making use of various scraps of material…

..forming a trace into tailored pattern..

..working out inner and outer halves..

..into an originally finished eye patch.

Supervising my Nolish companion in his making something out of nothing; a nicely curved eye patch, exactly fitting the socket of his eye, to be mounted with two crossing elastics for a bad-ass yet playfully elegant feel.

Shades of Black

Taking a free moment as an occasion to properly wash and iron my collection of day-shirts; retracing the same system of seams that build up this most conventional of all garments whilst taking note of the diversity in fiber compositions and the different coloring methods that were used on them; making each of the shirts look regular on its own, yet when piled together showing vast variation of textures and tints, collectively considered under a common label of “black”; which provides me an appealing angle for the 2013 designs; to omit all color and transport this dark notion to its Gothic extremities by creating outfits that are wholly black while in no way bland.

From Proto to Cover

Presenting one of my greatest graphical works thus far; conducted as a joint effort between myself and Coalescaremonium co-organizer Nocturne, bringing his character-art concept from the color and lay-out studying pre-visualization into a fully textured and decorated work of art; using a sequention of semi-transparent layers to capture it within a compository background that honors the artist’s design with an engineer’s correctness through including 3D-imaging software modeled objects into the equation, forming a neat way to work in the performer names and finishing it with a beautiful logo to carry our name.

Introducing Coalescaremonium

Discipulus — Sun, 30 Dec 2012 17:02:29 +0000

As a grand new event in Belgium’s Gothic nightlife with myself as one of its major organizers and hosts, Coalescaremonium seeks to unite people from the variety of local underground scenes into a unique celebration of music and arts, with of course a special place reserved just for fashion and photography. www.coalescaremonium.info

And Now for Some Cover-Art

Discipulus — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 03:00:28 +0000

Since the transaction to timeline, I hadn’t had the occasion or inspiration for justifying the blog with a proper facebook representation. Only when starting to work on it as an actual book cover (landscaped, for the digit world), came the realization, that to honor the rather bland facebook platform with all various aspects of the Opus Relinque situation, it would require a perhaps somewhat over-compensatingly gracious interpretation.

Impossible Pursuance

Discipulus — Thu, 20 Sep 2012 19:07:58 +0000

Having subjugated a plethora of difficult searches in the past, never could I have predicted the complications in finding such seemingly simple objects as those needed for finishing the shoulder-construction on the new leather ensemble, two obviously existent but virtually (in a multitude of languages) un-findable items, which were eventually tracked down, albeit not in time for the WGT, where an on-the-spot solution was contrived.

Documented, indeed.

The new card layout replaces the actual contact information to the back-side, opening up space for clearer diversification between the work and the person, now including the blog’s featured tagline, emphasising on the difference with commentary-oriented web-logs in denoting Opus Relinque as an active artist’s medium.

Multifarious Grain

Discipulus — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 19:12:30 +0000

In striving to make every garment a unique conception, I aim to never use the same fabric twice, meaning that to this point each of the crêpe-satins making up my shirts were commissioned from different suppliers in order to instantly bestow each design with a certain individuality, not just in color, but also in granularity, compound, weight, drop and texture; each and all significant factors that establish the eventuall outcome.

plus one

Discipulus — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 19:35:25 +0000

When reading a post on this blog, you might notice the little “g+1” button accompanying the facebook “share” anchor in the far right corner of the post’s attributes.
Clicking this button whilst logged into a personal Google or Gmail account, you publicly condone the post with the effect of a worldwide “liking“, improving Google’s overall perception of the post’s validity and content.
So, if you think a post would make a good search result, then just +1 it to boost its ratings in the Google Search Engine and/or share it’s contents on Google Plus.

The same applies to the larger “g+1” button that can be found at the bottom of the blog’s sidebar. This one lets you publicly promote the whole of “Opus Relinque“, much like the “facebook like”, improving general recognition and ratings for this website in a single click.
