Since summer began, I've only really been involved in a few massive art pieces. Most of my time has been dedicated to writing because that's what I want to do with my life. However, there have been a few occasions that I've spent drawing. They've been uncharacteristically time-consuming, and have helped me come to the conclusion that I am currently in an experimental phase with my art.
I've always wanted to do something more painterly. That being said most of my childhood inspiration could be found in the pages of a comic book, which, for the most part, consist of the routine sketch, line, and color process drawings. I've never aspired to be a comic artist, however, and found more organic techniques to be appealing to the eye. I've never been able to achieve such a style.
Recently, I've aspired to change that. My last two pieces, although tedious and exhausting, are some of the best things I've ever crafted.
This piece is on of them.
It depicts two characters from my book, Devil's Trumpet, Macy and Nico, beneath a blood moon. There's a lot of symbolism in this piece because the book is deeply rooted in biblical myths and rituals. I attempted to make it look as if they're angels descending from the clouds, hand in hand because they're the prophets of a new age. The moon is a critical part of the book, so it can't be discussed more, but damn was it difficult to draw.
