I wanted the piece to have the flavor of a traditionally done piece, but I did not try to mimic one specific medium.
It only took about a month and a half (probably about 45 hrs total spread out over that time--I had to fit it in around my two year old and my pregnancy-incuded tiredness) but it is finally done! I ordered the print today. :)
This piece was done on commission from a friend of mine. The idea of the picture is "The forces of darkness against the soldiers of light." "Determination in the face of overwhelming odds." "Evil is creepy but good will triumph." Stuff like that.
I'd like to thank my husband and my sister who modeled for these characters. And I'd especially like to thank my husband for pushing me to make the monsters scarier. Without him, they would look mildly upset (and not at all scary) at best.
This piece is available as a limited-edition print. Contact me if you're interested.
