Description My concept character is based on carnivorous pitcher plants.

The Story:

It was during an untimely war caused by the shrewdness of men who were greedy for position and power, a war of massive destruction amongst themselves. The nuclear reaction has brought earth to collapse leaving only those ingenuous organisms who were left unaffected by man's cruelty.

Years after, there then came a series of exploration from entities of the outside world,certain changes in the planet caused by the biological reaction and the biochemical effects used during the war were discovered, as well as new organisms that has the ability live on its own and can create life on its own. Brought about by their curiosity some immersed themselves in the culture of the planet even after the exploration. But they didn't last long... their death unexplainable.

3000 years thereafter. This blissful scenery from a certain part of Earth, which can be seen even from the atmosphere. An island secluded from the chaotic and derange life of Earth. This is KEILAH.

The time has come for the deities of Keilah to sprung and take charge of the new universe. Here is Sarracenia, the very first diety to immerge from their multi-faceted kingdom from the underworld.

This is the continuation of my previous artwork "KEILAH:A New Beginning". [link]
Done in Photoshop CS5.

Unfortunately, there may be no Sarracenia left in the wild by the time that happens. Their habitat is being destroyed rapidly.

Great work!

Holy crap, the colors and how they flow from one to another (especially in Sarracenia's...head?) are amazing, and the pure level of detail is astonishing. Wonderful job, I will definitely be watching you for more from this project!

Sorry, I had to fave and run on the rest of the series or I would be there forever commenting on them. I LOVE them. The colours are beautiful and work really well together, and somehow still remaining realistic. The subjects are surreal, original and beautiful.
I cant wait to see more of your work.

This is just incredible, I thought it could have been made with painter. But CS5 has probably now a good set of brushes.
Sadly it is way to expensive...
