Something different for a change and also to remind you that I have not totally abandoned tribute-focused-artworks ;)
I just had these artist grants and creating „Luna & Nova“ demanded a lot of my personal time this year.
.
Now about this new piece: I Managed to finalize this painting of the mystic from the Dark Crystal that I had started earlier this year. It is based on a landscape-painting of Christ by Ivan Kramskoi from 1872. I think it is fun to compare these two images side-by-side so feel free to swipe for it ^.^
.
I nearly overlooked this great composition because it is simply centered but it focused on elliptic enclosures, for example: the floating stones in the foreground underline a good starting point for the outer elliptic enclosure. My version just added to it and changed the shape of the elliptic enclosures instead of circles in the original that goes around the figure.
.
Actually the mystic and Christ have a lot in common and I found it fitting to go with that direction, without being too much cliché. At least I hope so ;)
Thinking about this further, it would make totally sense to do a painting of SkekMal the Hunter, UrVa’s counterpart… hmm
