Description
This piece almost killed me. This was the biggest project I had all semester long. It probably took close to 80 hours. But man, I don't know if I've ever done something I've been so happy with when it was done. I had such a strong story in my mind with this piece
This project began with a pair of live models whom I used as references. From there, I found some reference photos of Antarctica, as well as a beach in Norway and a mountain temple in Tibet. I got a lot of inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft and Mike Mignola. From there, I used brushes, staedtler and micron pens of all shapes and sizes, quill pens and sharpies to render the final image. The original is quite large, 20x26, and what we have here is the reproduction that was actually submitted to the teacher. I've attempted to photograph the original, but I'm still working out the fine points of my at-home photo studio. If I can get a better version of this picture, I'll post it in it's place. As it is, this is what I came up with.
