Description Even the strongest king will wither in time and turn to soil.


A collaboration between and me again. This was purely done with acrylics on A3 heavy stock and a lot of fun to make. The approach took me longer than the painting itself as this is an image that builds up on light.

The original is a tad darker than the scan for sure.
Also, the original will be available at Mephit Mini Con. ^^

Thanks a lot for looking!

This is my favorite piece of yours. It really captures the essence of "Earth" and what the kingdom of Earth really is. Everything dies and is reborn.

Epic as always. The frontal veiw really makes it look majestic, as a lion is sure to be even in death........ to bad in reality, male lions are lazy mother-fuckers.

I don't intend to be mean, but are those his feet at the bottom? My wee brain can't seem to figure out the folds. The figure looks foreshortened, but I couldn't tell if this was on purpose or just my eyes deceiving me.

Overall, I am LOVING the atmosphere. I think the extra darkness works well with this piece.

Hi, those are supposed to be his knees. If it were his feet he would be a tad too small. ;D

Tomatosoup In reply to AlectorFencer [2011-04-15 21:49:41 +0000 UTC]

Ah okay. ^__^ I was also considering that it could be hip bones or something along those lines, but I couldn't wrap my mind around it. Even knees make him seem a little too short to me, but its obviously not a depiction of a human (so what do I know about the anatomy anyway)? C:

Well, I suppose it feels too dark to be called beautiful. But then again, dark can be beautiful too, just maybe in a different way.. (?)
