Description
PURCHASE A PRINT/POSTER AT [link]-----------------------------------------------------------------
I completed the "Divine Being" during the 12/21/10 lunar eclipse and solstice, which was an enlightening experience all on its own.
This piece is part of a spiritual series I'm working on, looking forward to creating the rest.

I must say that this one pulled me into itself. I like the way you made the symbols on his hands and forehead. Especially the glowing effect you have on them. The eyes speak for themselves, they show wisdom, and elegance even though this is an alien type creature. No as far as the robe goes, the coloring and shading is good but I would work more on the way it folds over the body. As it is now it looks almost flat. The rest of the clothing behind it, I like how you made it darker as if he's almost trying to fade away from sight. That caught my attention as well as the necklace over him. Honestly other than the robe over his shoulders and over his chest I think that this is a true masterpiece and very creative.

Thanks for the wonderful feedback. Good thing this is a digital piece, always room for improvement . I'll definitely take your feedback into consideration on the garment and ad more realism to the folds and drapery. Thanks again.

That night, a friend in I were talking about aliens. It was a stormy that night so we were unable to see the eclipse. This is an amazing piece!

Thank you, glad you like . It was definitely an interesting evening. I started the piece about a week earlier without any specific intention on the subject matter, but as the lunar eclipse and equinox were approaching it slowly started taking form. The top portion of the piece that shows the moon is an actual star chart showing the position of the constellations the moment I completed the artwork at 2:30am that evening (using Stellarium for mac to get the position of the stars). BTW, on the right is a representation of the next total solar eclipse, which will occur on November 13th, 2012 near Australia and the South Pacific.
