Description Endure

Magic the Gathering; Eventide. Β©Wizards of the Coast

Acrylic, Approx 11" x 7.5".

Original artwork for sale; UKΒ£300.

As the black flame washes around the Kithkin they grit their teeth, and with magical ssistance, endure the pain and suffering to fight on....

I wanted the sweep of flame in the foreground, and the background 'splash' to frame the figures. Within that I used the yellow backlighting to help provide depth, and to enable the figures to stand out more clearly.

I've never really understood why the kithkin got such enormous eyes in Shadowmoor.

Creepy little things.

GrimJesta [2008-07-21 19:45:19 +0000 UTC]

Yet again, an amazing piece. I too notice the abundance of purple in your art, and I love it. It is a very emotional color, simulating passion, royalty, lust and loneliness all at the same time (yet depending on what other colors it is used with; YMMV). The expression on the main entity's face is perfect for a war scene.

Props.

RalphHorsley In reply to GrimJesta [2008-07-23 08:17:04 +0000 UTC]

I guess it is a colour I enjoy using. Useful in dropping things back to blue, or popping them out with red.

EroticPanda [2008-07-21 19:17:17 +0000 UTC]

I've noticed that i can immediately identify your work from the overwhelming presence of purple in all your work. I assume this has to be a conscious decision, so would you mind sharing your thoughts on this?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

RalphHorsley In reply to EroticPanda [2008-07-23 08:18:07 +0000 UTC]

I do enjoy using it, guess it works well for shadow, and gives more flexibility and warmth than blue.... haven't thought about it too much consciously...

Thanks
