(New art every few pages)

EVERYTHING IS AT LEAST SIX FEET IN DIMENSION

Maybe a week away from completion.   Six foot high, poured/thrown paint, abstract version of “Saint Anthony Tormented by Demons.”

Latex house paint on wood with graphite and other stuff.

The original: (Martin Schongauer, 1470)



Where I’m at, so far…



I may have accidentally made it too “real”

Disturbing. Nice workmanship, but disturbing.
"An age of glory passed like a lightning flash. The mandate of heaven passed from you but you didn't see. Times change and power passes. It is the pity of the world."

Wait until I add the wooden clubs:

So in the original, the ones armed with clubs are trying to protect him?

No.

There are demons beating him and demons seducing him.

There are violent demons and “sexy” demons.  That’s easy with blobs.

A poured blob that is saintly?

That’s the challenge.

This dude is fucking up my original thought.  The other 2 are not pulling on him, straight armed, no legs, eyes on the side of their face.

This dude makes me think you’re right, and the other 2 are just dog piling to tow the company line…

No, they're all trying to beat him.

I have seen and actually held an original print of this engraving, worth about a quarter million dollars.

Yeah.  The ones with titties and frog vaginas are rubbing on him and pulling on him.

The ones with clubs are grabbing and beating.

A great push/pull dynamic for composition.

I appreciate that.

In a few days, the final rendering and shading will be done, and the clear coat will happen.

The gloss will unify the surface and make the graphite pop.

“Cincinnatus Tormented by GD”

ETA:  Very nice technique and attention to detail.  I’m not always good at the art thing.  Am more a music and voice guy.  But my impression is it’s disturbing and spooky. No question you have a talent.

Before reading the post I thought you had some great talent, with the original drawing.
