Description
I said Postcard I was a mile stone, but I think this piece is the real milestone in my search for the right colors and atmosphere in that space.
I just love how this piece turned out, just as I envisioned it when I made the initial sketch!
I will make a oil painting of ol' Leviathan as well, and this watercolor/acrylic painting will be a good role model on how I want that one to be in both composition and color-palette!
I have re-found my fondness of my acrylic inks again I must say, they just work the way I wants them to work, in a way that I've actually never had a medium work before! Love em!
Anyway, for those that haven't followed my journey, this is the second go on:
That is my take on the gate that many folks take to hell (this has taken inspiration from a old woodcut series that features Belial as he tries to make a deal with Solomon).
This gate is often depicted as the gaping mouth of Leviathan who is a great sea creature in common myth.
This beast is dear to me as I can find traces of him all over the place, like Ea from the old Sumerian myths or "Midgårds ormen" that encircles the world of men in the Norse myths.
Here he gulps in a large amount of souls
Anyway, I really enjoyed making this, and it have given me a better sense of where I want to go with future pieces in the series, so I'm a happy badger! (with a santa hat).
Comments and critz are welcome as always!

Another brilliant piece. I love the creature's design. It's creepy and hellish but features a very slight humorist aspect which most demons as illustrated/painted by pre-Baroque artists shared but which is no longer seen in modern works. I love how the turquoise thing (whatever it is) contrasts with the colors used primarily.
