Hello DA folks!

New painting comes to my portfolio today. It was chosen for the print in ImagineFX Rising Stars 2011 magazine, which I am very proud of. It is still hard to believe that success after a few months considering the massive amount of young talent out there. I mean, really, some people are crazy in their skills. Usually these people have very strong interest in their subject or particular style, which comes naturally to them. While I have a hard time choosing what I really want to pursue, fantasy themes are what I always end up with. I guess that's the answer for me.

My idea for this painting was pretty simple - a man approaching an arabic city on speedy camel. It sounds almost enough for a nice painting, but I wanted to show a power stronger than humanity. Capturing the creature in frame would be another one in a row with paintings with big monsters. I had in mind wonderful shadow shapes after walking in nearby forest and it became a perfect fit for this painting. I don't really know the exact story - but I feel two ambivalent emotions anxiety and calmness at the same time. It is a game of colours, shapes and moods.

Perspective gave me more trouble than I expected, so I built an ugly 3d basis on which I could build my planes of city. You can notice how accurate some shadows are on stairs and I doubt I would made them so well by hand. It was the very first time I used 3d this way

Squawk of the Shadow by ~artozi. The artist truly captures a grand scale and sense of epicness in this painting, all the while withholding a lot of information - a subtle yet incredibly striking work!

Artist suggested by *DameOdessa and *Master-Mune. ( Featured by ^alicexz )
