This was my final project for figure illustration. I wanted to give a sense of discovery as well as maybe even desperation. This can be viewed a ton of different ways, which was the intention.
It might be a little dark from the picture, but there are two men in the shadow by the creature who is indeed holding something out to them
Ugh, yeah... This piece when it's done will probably clock in around 30 or more hours for sure, and I really doubt it'll get more than 15 or 20 favorites, even though I feel it's way, way cooler and better executed than much of my current gallery. Oh well.
Thanks! It's all about working out the perspective. This took approximately 25 hours to complete, but that was the finished piece. Conceptualizing, roughing, working the perspective, and overlays probably amount to nearly another 15 hours.
