Artist's Comments

category edit, dunno how, but it was categorized as digital(?) now its right:nod:
---

as for the standing of the title of this concept work i might say this is mainly leaned on a chapter of William Blakes marriage of heaven and hell, (excerpt: Isaiah XXXIV & XXXV Chapter) the basic interpretation contains to declare that good is heaven and evil is hell,but what is evil,what is good,i think man and women are energetic counterparts,in form shape and hormonal-consistence...
and in real life the differences are tiny too,but yet there.so its on YOU to decide which one is good which one is evil...;-)

here some stats:

original size: 22X34 inch
time approximated:20 hours
tools used: physical airbrush,watercolor, polychrymos and pencil on black photo board

Alright Over roll this is a very interesting painting and I really love the way you did the characters that interact as the main subject and focal point of it, my own critic about this is that I can't see the concent of marriage of Heaven and hell in the characters due to their similarity.

One would think that maybe you wanted to represent that regardless these are supposed to be two very different places they are indeed very similar, in my opinion it looses the concept but there is so much richness in color and realism made possible by the technique that I really appreciate the piece of work.

Wow. I've been working on projects with similar subject matter, so the concept behind this really appeals to me. Not to mention the fact that the art itself is mindblowingly realized. I must fav this at once . . . because I think doing so is "good."

YES! long awaited indeed...

Oh, by the way, I cheated and saw it at Twisted Realms first! tee-hee!

THis is amazing. I know how hard actual airbrushing is, so this must have taken a while indeed. Amazing job though! The detail is astonishing!

Tremendous! Colored, this one is on a par with the original. I don't say that it's better, because to me, black and white has a charm of it's own, but this is definately equal. The only thing - and it's not even a criticism - is the lack of facial detail compared to the rest of them. It reminds me of the movie "fantastic planet" for some reason when I look at them. The draags... heh, I don't imagine you've ever seen it, but it's been a great inspiration to me. The faces remind me of it... I like them a lot.
Again, excellent job, as usual ;) (Wink)

great to see some new/old work from you! dunno wich one i like more..this for the rich and warm colors or the other since i have a soft spot for pencil-work.
i remember you saying you were gonna color it in acrylic..ACRYLIC? damz..how long did it take you? there is so much detail and little spots and texture..just marvelous. i bow for your talent.
