Artist's Comments

This is a color illustration for a fantasy story with characters from Greek mythology. It will be published in local sci-fi/fantasy mag. It was a faster work than my usual cover stuff.
Made from scratch in Photoshop CS3

some B&W ilustrations for this story can be found here:

I love the textures used and the style of this painting. Really painterly but it works for it and give the painting the ominous mood its supposed to have. Love it. :nod: :bounce:

"what can you say, and what can you do when you are faced with tough situations out of your control?

one faces their fear, walks straight with head held up high, and never looks back.

HOPE and DETERMINATION are the last thing we should ever loose.

I start with blocking very basick shapes and than adding detail. at every stage I must feel comfortable with it. when I don't I stay at that stage and continue tu change it withot adding detail untill I can feel it again.
