Honestly - I don't like macabre paintings that have this kind of theme, and it has taken me quite a while to come here after I had first seen this, but I can't hold my tongue any longer. I know that you guys love your blood/gore/guts etc. and have this fascination with all things evil/zombie/monster- ish. I dunno why and I don't wanna know why. I just choose to stay away from that kind of thing.
Uhm... but this completely blew me out of the water when I saw it. I mean, I was literally - STUNNED. I don't know what kind of mind it takes to create something like this, but sometimes I desperately wish I had this kind of creativity. Let me tell you how much I like this - I already told you I hate that whole kind of monster evil thing - but I would buy this is a HEART BEAT if I saw this somewhere for sale. The colors and the detail are so phenomenal that it leaves one temporarily speechless. And the CHARACTERS - I have never seen such an array of amazing characters. I want to see these things in a movie! Especially the fluff twins and the orange man. They capture my eye and my imagination!! That blue hair - I tell ya, I never saw something so incredible! And the black Ebony tusk - wow just looking at the variations of color on that thing - it's gorgeous. Not to mention the mouth on his Ivory twin.
You can definitely see three different styles on this, but in this case it's totally appropriate because each of you was exceptionally true to your vision and creative expression and that individual integrity is what brings this whole piece together. The skulls and lady on the left look like it was drawn by one person, the ebony/ivory twins and orange man w/ white tusk look like they were drawn by another, and yet and still the gray man with torn flesh looks like he may have been drawn by another. I dunno - he kinda is in the style of the middle characters but they look like they were mostly done in pen tool while he looks like he was blurred n autocircled a bit. The left side looks pretty much pen tool as well, but again, the color choice and type of strokes are different.
The color balance across all three art styles is really wonderful. I mean everything is so complimentary. I'm glad I was around to see this. For the space of one collab - you opened my mind in a totally different direction, if only because I fell in love with this piece. I can't guarantee that I would like anything else in this genre - but I can guarantee that this is one of the most remarkable pictures. Thanks for being the three people whose life experiences somehow gave you the "creative soup" to put this gorgeous and lush and exciting painting together. If these characters are original... OMG. You're sittin on a gold mine, guys.
