Description
Commision work: This is a cover that I did for the novel "La Versión del Minotauro" (The Version of the Minotaur). It´s a very dark novel about a politic conspiracy. The minotaur is not a real minotaur in the novel, but is a metaphor of the monster, the killer inside of the labyrinth of corruption and conspiracy.Painted in Photoshop with a Wacom Cintiq12WX.
You can see the process HERE: [link]
and the cover without the titles HERE: [link]
I hope you like it

The sink is an interesting touch. One thinks of Minotaur's and one envisions ancient times. Interesting addition.

Great finish on this one. Love the golden lighting top right, and the greying, dead-flesh palette you've gone for on its skin. Very nice work

Vaya, es una ilustración maravillosa, he visto el proceso en tu blog, es genial una pregunta has estudiado arte o eres autodidacta?

Muchas gracias por el comentario, en cuanto a mis estudios: las dos cosas, he estudiado en varias academias de diseño e ilustración tradicional pero luego he seguido formándome por mi cuenta hasta el día de hoy... y seguiré estudiando de manera autodidacta siempre, porque para mí los estudios de arte no acaban nunca y no hay día que me acueste sin haber aprendido una cosa más

Awesome... but if you are familiar with the myth, the Minotaur is as much a victim as those Athnians sent into the maze. Corruption, Conspiracy, Greed dwell deep inside man until the thirst for absolute power becomes paramount. Again... awesome work!~

Exactly! The minotaur is also a victim, and that is precisely one of the subjects of the novel. If you look my Minotaur, you can see that he has an ambiguos look. Is he a monster o the monsters are the people who placed the minotaur in the labrynth? That´s the reason I put blood in the hands of the Minotaur, but if you notest, there´s also blood in the mounth of the "monster"
Thank you very much for the comment
