Watercolour, marker, ink pen, on a grey cardboard. Spent quite a bit of time on this one. I don't use paints often (almost never) and I found it worthwhile to experiment with them. The original painting is about three times the size of the deviation, so when scanning, I had to make two half-scans and then put them together in Photoshop.
Well for me it's more science-fiction than surreal, but i like them both Color scheme and details are very good and the picture is very pleasant to look, in some it makes me think to a fish in spacesuit or something like this
I just regret two things : no shadows to give a ground feeling (the machine shape give the idea of a foot so it's normal to wait an idea of ground) and a lack of dynamic, the picture is very static.
Good job in general
Thanx for the commentary! Indeed it is static, as if floating, lifeless and flat, but generally thats the effect I'd like to achieve. Really, my stuff is not supposed to be comic book, sci-fi-character-like and I like my creatures to look lost, detatched from everything (even from the canvas or paper) and confused. That is also why I put it in surreal, because , while it bears inspiration with sci-fi themes, I am trying to move away from these sort of images while at the same time alluding to them to some extent. Thanx a lot for the commentary though, I really appreciate it.
We love horses, we love drawing, we love gifts, AND we love Christmas. We're gonna combine all that to make Christmas 2009 on dA a seriously awesome one!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
