A new look at old art. A buddy of mine wanted an update for a synth album he’s working on.
Old version..

He wanted me to effectively take the old piece and add another background but looking at old art work of mine is less fun than creating something new.
And here’s a look at the progress in Photoshop.
And for the colour scheme I went with the following reference.
And the background was totally based on the Pantheon in Rome where my wife and I went a while back.
Prefrontal cortex take the wheel.
Other angles…
And here are the different angles in gif form. It flips the image 90 degrees every 15 seconds.
And uh… it works from which ever angle….
Here’s some earlier stages…
I actually wanted to keep it black and white like a Visoth Kakvei image I was inspired by but it wasn’t working. It would have been a reversed light scheme (as the ascending Renaissance paintings I was also riffing off called for) but the foreground elements were getting hidden. Had to add colour and therefor scope… BAH.. but it was worth it.
