Hey everyone,
as big Kong has traveled to Austria for a painting-class and little Capuchin is still in his well-earned vacation, I will keep the jungle rollin´
Just wanted to share with you some thoughts and early wip-shot of my actual project for the Duke of Bavaria-Contest. I´m quite late with it, as I planed to start at beginning of March... but I did not had the right ideas for it... just the nice Minotaur (by Banelords)... but finally some days ago I felt a fitting scene rising in my mind and started constructing..
There will be more pictures and words about it in the next two weeks, as I´m trying to finish the whole thing till end of April... BUT: I will take all the time necessary and not gettig sloppy... if there is not enough time, it will be finished after the contest. In my opinion a contest should be a motivation to get started and to paint with full concentration, but not to be the answer to the question why you paint. It´s a hobby and a beautiful one. Competitions are made for meeting other crazy people who are licking their brushes, bending their backs in strange position and having fun by doing it
But back to the project - codename "Lost Temple" (as a passionate Starcraft-player I loved this title...).
A shot from yesterday, after finishing the constructing part:
A shot from tonight... you see I added a nice tree after I thought to be finished with the construction... sometimes there are late ideas, that have to be used
What is the scene in my mind? I see an very old temple-ruin, forgotten some centuries ago... this was a holy place, sacred for ancient culture, worshipping a special creature. Old legends tell about Asterios, son of Minos, who lived in a dark prision beneath the temple. But after he was fought by Theseus, public interest in the temple was lost and became a place of legends... but who said that Asterios´ kind was erased? Packs of treasure-hunters and young male Cretians know better. They know that Asterios´ legacy is still living in the dark of the ruins and waiting for everone who tries to follow Theseus´ way...
Idea for the temple´s colour: CLICK ME!
And some quick shots of the "actors"
Read you all soon
