Description
It was never clear to me in the movie, Legend, how the horn of the unicorns would give Lord Darkness power over Light. Thus, I am compelled to think he really wanted that unicorn to *compensate* for something he lacked. I'm pretty sure Sigmund Freud would totally agree with me.

Anyway, in case no one knows who this is, that's Lord Darkness with Lily (the dark version). I've always wanted to fanart Ridley Scott's Legend. I grew up with that film and, til this day, I love the music and fantasy set-up. Tim Curry was absolutely delicious as the Lord Darkness.

There are other reasons why I wanted to do this aside from fangirling over the movie and getting ready for the conventions. On a personal level, I like what this image represents and hope people can appreciate the pair-up. I am a firm supporter of the dark arts, particularly its role on revealing the darker sides of the human psyche.

Creating this piece was a challenge. There wasn't many good sources to refer to when creating this, so I had to watch the film again and again while taking creative liberties. It's also done in traditional medium so there wasn't much room to screw-up. I'm happy with how it came out though! I've found that, since I started working digitally for the past years of my life, my traditional work has improved greatly.

The original painting (which is roughly 20-x30) will be sold at the conventions. Hopefully I can get it to Dragoncon since I'll be attending it this year. In fact, this piece is a bit of a homage to my favorite artist, Julie Bell. She was among the artists who juried the entries for the artist alley. To realize that my childhood idol looked at my gallery and gave me the greenlight to attend the artist alley section means a lot to me. In fact, while painting this I had one of her prints (which I bought several years ago) in front of me to give me inspiration.
