The Righteous Dawnby ~Somnicide

Contests / 2012 / Train Your Brain / Illustration

So I've been breaking out of my comfort zone a lot this semester. Oil painting, editorial illustration, comics, poster design, my entire media class... A lot of things I'm not used to doing. I've also been working on simplifying my compositions, using more large graphic shapes and better use of space. And while a lot of that hasnt been put up here (yet at least), I definitely feel I'm learning a lot from it. But every now and then, I just need to do something that is completely and entirely....me.

And thus, this painting. Epic fantasy. Golden lighting. Jagged rock formations. Clouds in abundance. Hey, cant knock me for being inconsistent, right? It started out as a thumbnail for a Way of Kings book cover (I ended up doing Mistborn instead), but I finished it out in my free time a little differently.

I will also be submitting this toward the Train Your Brain Contest. c:

The work on the clouds is absolutely excellent, and I love the way that their roiling activity continues into the horse's coat. But I think what really works in this is the color and the way you go from saturated golds and the bright yellows into the grays and reds. Between that and the shape repetition in the clouds and rocks this is an amazing piece, and actually stands out against a lot of similar kinds of sword-yay-triumph-of-battle-oh-no-death concept work. This is wonderful to look at and I've enjoyed it a lot.
