This piece, originally seen here as a work in progress
is now completed. While I am still trying to capture the combination of yellows and blues that I saw when I was doing my first test piece, this is where I ended up going.
I realized when I had the above that the yellow pansy was not having the same effect as the Black Lily anther, but I was enjoying the abstract cloud effect of the purple pansy. The swirling arms coming out of the mass gave me the idea of completing the piece in blue and then putting a purple creature over it.
In the end, it was a little darker purple than I had been going for and it took some playing around to get it to where I liked it. I’d still like to see a little more definition in the beast and I have really struggled to get his blue eye to pop.
I added the planet at the bottom of the piece to give it a nice invasion feel and then I decided his creepy clawed arms weren’t enough so I started adding what I thought would be bombs…turns out I might have been slightly more influenced by our trip to see Sperm! The Musical the night before then I realized as it now looks like the creature is shooting his load at the planet/egg beneath him.
Art is always subjective, so see it as I intended or as it turned out or however you like, I just hope you enjoy it.
