Description
Sometimes it's fun to revisit an old sketch and inject some new life into it; hence this.This was originally a concept painting for a film I was working on, however it was unused and I decided to have some fun with it. The fence is an element from a piece by one of my favourite artists, Nicolas Ferrand, which I included as a wee tribute to my inspiration for this painting - for those of you who aren't familiar with his work go and have a peek: [link]

this has a certain immediacy and informality that really makes it come alive... almost like being there... like some one took a sketchbook along with them... though I'd have no idea why...

That's a nice compliment, I definitely tried to get across the feeling that you're in there with the team (what with the tilted perspective and such) - I'm glad you engaged with the painting in that manner.

Thanks, what do you mean by sprung? Like, what inspired it? It was originally a concept for a horror movie.

Yeah, I meant exactly that!
And what would the movie be about?

Well I can't say too much as it's still in production, but it was pretty much a horror tale about a couple who get captured in Africa and end up trying to escape... Exciting stuff!

Makes me think of S.T.A.L.K.E.R, some military silouhettes with no faces, in some unreal land...
Your piece is a true chef d'oeuvre !!

Well I'm a bit fan of Stalker! In fact, I was playing a combination of that and Far Cry 2 when I painted this so I guess the two sort of mixed together haha
I'm glad you like it.

Cool! I'm so glad it is one of your reference for this work. I have been thinking of it too lately, trying to do something around the red forest theme.
I've just submited a deviation on it, you may check my gallery if you pleased!

This is incredible. Your coloring is beyond fantastic, and truly gives this work beauty. I love the details (the tree, the kneeling soldier and his device, the hole in the fence and the coloring on the mountains). Great work.
