Gummi bears

I tried out experimenting gummi bears in different ways. I experimented by melting, freezing, cutting, and others.

As I started experimenting, I quite liked the reflection of gummy bears' colours.

So I tried to make something that can emphasize the reflection colours of gummy bears.

So I tried out to make gummy bears look like stained glass of the church. I found out when I cut gummy bears, it somehow able to stick to objects with gummy bears sticky characteristics.

That made me to think about gummy bear virus. If gummy bears are able to stick to people's body or animal's body, what will happen?

So I made something like gummy bear mans.

If we think the gummy bear as creatures from unknown spaces, gummy bear also can called as aliens. When I melted gummy bears, its stickiness formed like the web of spiders.

Also it had this beautiful bubbles inside the melted gummy bears. It somehow looked like germs of aliens or germs of gummy bears.

So I've come up with some dumb theory, which is if gummy bears' cuteness is a mask of aliens to attack the earth to stick to all creatures to control the whole planet.

That made me to think about the movie 'parasite'.

Like if gummy bear is real parasite who arrived the earth to control this whole planet. I know that movie is not about real parasite but I tried to parody the mood of the movie.

I will try out experimenting on its texture and will think about what concept I want to do for my book. But I am quite into this alien facts of gummy bears so I will do more research on how can I include this well on my book.

For the branding, I was thinking about doing the National Gummi Bears' Day. I might change it to other thing that I created not from the existing one.
