Description No, there is no explanation. I've had a slight artist's block for a few weeks now, and got my copy of Exposé 6 a few days ago and looked through it and WHOOSH! Inspiration hit.

I had that particular pose in mind from the beginning, but it was tricky to find or shoot a ref, so I pulled out my dusty copy of Poser 6 and (mis)posed a figure, then threw it into Vue d'Esprit 4 and rendered for reference. The result was absolutely godawful , but it was still better than nothing. After that it took 3 days of scribbling with Painter 9 and Wacom Intuos and there you have it, in all its incomprehensible glory.

In case you're interested, here's a detail shot

May be reposted for as long as my name and preferably also a link to my gallery are provided along with the image in a clear manner. No modifications.


Edit: Whoa, a DD! O.O Thanks a lot, $spinegrinder as well as everyone who viewed/faved/commented!

I freaking love this!
I'm having a similar artist's block for my Yr 12 Body of Work and, this work inspired me! It's similar to my concept (kind of) - I'm doing a Surrealist inspired concept though haha, anyways;

<3 AWESOME.

rasmusbrinck [2009-03-22 16:25:47 +0000 UTC]

All in all I'd say the effort is worth it... of course I don't know squad, but the drawing did turn out amazing! The simplicity of the landscape, I think, is a good choice as the character, with its "missing lims", stands out more because of it. Good Job!

animaiden [2008-06-02 07:04:01 +0000 UTC]

I can definitely see why this got featured as a DD.

I think the title suits it Really well, since the subject is well, half missing, and the whole desert scene reflects this whole sense of being dead, so basically I've interpreted it like inspiration being gone, or disappeared, or something poetic like that. xD
Really mysteriously beautiful piece. <3
