Today, a dark and colourful sketch, which I feel has something more that can be tickled out of it. A moment before striking down Cardinal Grandesprit, the assassin taunts him playfully from the rafters of a small country church. He stands below her, paralysed and praying, hoping his inevitable end will be swift.
So, this is the end of the mad science experiment… The result is that I need some new tools if I am to continue in this vein. "Vhen I thow zis leva, ze welt vill be schanged… forever!" Thank you for bearing with me as this unfolded.
The experiment continues… As this is the first time I do this, it's taken a lot longer than anticipated, but altogether, the results would be quite satisfying, if I didn't have the feeling that I'm relearning how to draw… not that I could in the first place.
I'll come clean immediately: I am a child of the desert. Walking on frozen water scares the crap out of me. Snow and Ice are foreign elements to my warm, sunny soul. I sleep with my window open when the thermometer tells me its -20ºc outside. And yet I find myself fascinated by the effects the cold is having on this very siberian city around me. For your enjoyment and consideration, some pictures taken through three or four layers of thermic clothing, with the aforementioned jammed camera. of strange and entrancing ways the cold manifests itself on Berlin. Would you beleive that I am currently fascinated with frozen air? As yet, I wish warmth upon thee… just not upon Mickey, whose diploma was saved by the cold.
This here is the starting point for an experiment I'm going to engage upon. It's one of my usual doodles, which I want to ink digitally and then colour… Let's see where it goes! More to come!
