Second posting for the monthly challenge, this time Drowning. A chilling subject, the style was happened upon as I was playing with a large white pencil on the black background and ended up with the hand print shape. This I then used as determining the lighting of the piece. The Idea being that a sailor from years gone bye being dragged down to the murky deep by some hideous being. At first it was to be a tentacle and he was to be surrounded by the debris of a broken up ship, but I decided the drama was in the figure, and that the tentacled beast was a bit too much so I was struck by the thought of an alluring yet deadly mermaid dragging the unfortunate victim down. Pretty happy given the time frame and the trouble i had with the perspective, lighting and beast...not happy with the bubbles though...
Painter x, lots of hours over around 15 days
