This week, I've created for another contest (yes, that's the "contests' month !) and here, before your eyes and after the two previous steps I posted on this blog, is the final result.
In the end, I used about every material I could find... Acrylic, ink, pastels, pencils... And even some digital additions.
The result is quite far from what I had in mind at first (and maybe from what you can tell after my first sketches) but I am learning to like it. The only big frustration I have is that the blue background is not the original colour that actually is on my paper. I had used this same ink for a previous illustration in my Beauty and the Beast project, and I had had a hard time already to find the colour back on the computer... (I should have remembered before but... Ah well).
Then, there is also the little flowers... I'm not very satisfied with them, something seems wrong. But from the feedbacks I had for now, I am the only one annoyed by that, so... :)
My idea at first was to make something born out of the death. Here the flowers were supposed to symbolize a rebirth through the skull of the demon. Even the dead trees are showing signs of rebirth... For there are leaves appearing, flying around them. Finally, the rebirth can be found also in the skull itself, because my aim was to give a new shape to the emblematic figure of the band, to turn it into something recognizable but different. So I kind of gave it another life (without any meaning of pretension though, I hope you get that !) :)
Apparently, there is still some votes from the audience planned for this one... If you are interested, go to this page !
Hoping you like it :)
