heavily inspired by the track 'Serenity Painted Death' by Opeth from the album 'Still Life'

not that i'm a huge Opeth fan or anything....

----- ----- ----- -----

Following on from Lament of the Weary [link] a submission which for me marked a change of direction, I wanted to post up some more of my new stuff.

Serentity Painted Death is another one of my rambling sketches which I have made flesh so to speak. I really feel like I'm naked with these releases as they are 100% photoshop and as a result 100% me. No renders, no reference, no photos, no poser, nada, nowt, nothing, just a blank canvas in photoshop, a twisted mind and a heavy cold.

I have another version of this with a raven taking up most of the right hand side in the foreground. I probably spent as much time on that ruddy bird as the rest of the piece, but I got to nearing the end of the piece and thought 'i wonder what it looks like without the raven...' and it looked better (well to me anyway) the white face stands out loads more without him. I might post a link to this version for peoples amusement if anyone's that interested.

oh, the hardes thing on this image was the f**king b*st*rd Bl*dy brickwork. Never done it before and its soooooo time consuming. thats probably why it looks really rough :lol:

approx 3 hours Photoshop work

Guardian of the flaming forest.

Barring the way to all save those he deems fit to burn.

A smile, and he steps aside, as you go to your immolation.

This is a very powerful piece.

Thank you.
