Ascending to Blasphemy III: Heretics in a Silenced West

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.

Modern Cat

… another cat drawing.

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.

Happy Halloween

Ice Cream

Ascending to Blasphemy

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.

First painting of the year.

Origami Space Bird

Another Cat

Did another sketch of a cat. This is another image inspired by our trip to Japan.

 

Kitsune

This was inspired by a trip my wife and I recently made to Japan. We visited the Fushimi Inari Shrine in Kyoto where this image popped into my head. Very cool place. I mostly painted this as a fan of the imagery one sees in Japan.
