Description
Also posted on my sketchblog: jasonbot.com/?p=2875Here's yet another ~10 year old piece, brought to life with new colors.
Man, there is... a lot going on with this drawing (good, bad, and ugly). I don't know if I can talk about this coherently, so let's just take an inventory of some of the weirdness here:
- Cartoony proportions on the heroine are executed poorly, making her look like a big boobed dwarf. Maybe that's not so bad? I'm undecided.
- Blunderbuss with skull-and-crossbones relief sculpted on the stock. The execution isn't great, but come on, that's a decent idea, right?
- Crop-cricle-esque patterns on the mummy's sarcophagus, implying an extra-terrestial aspect to the mummy. Just a little bit of extra intrigue thrown in at no extra cost.
- The mummy's bandages are way too skinny. What the heck!
At the time that I drew this, I was pretty much maxing out my skills, so even though I can draw much better now, I'm glad I that I could bring some competent colors to the piece. The me of 10 years ago would be pleased, I think. I learned a lot while coloring this, and I'm in one of those creative phases where I feel like I might actually possibly know what I'm doing. Don't worry folks--such phases are short-lived for any self-respecting artist.
(Incidentally, I don't always post my moldy oldies on DA, so if you want to see some of my miscellaneous older atwork, click here and just start scrolling down: jasonbot.com/?cat=37 )
