in #artexplosion5 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemains!

This is the final piece of the work I have been working on for the past few days and am presenting it as my entry for Art Explosion contest week 48 which has the theme "Self". The contest is organized by @juliakponsford.

  • Brief Description of the work
    It was getting dark and they were coming. Who are they? Their enemies - the vampires. He looked around but his fellows were no where to be found. He had no other option but to transform to a monster (his other kind) in order to defend his territory.

It's gonna be a fierce battle.

This work was created through the combination of two faces - my fierce face and a lion's aggressive expression - to form a monstrous/beast-like creature.

  • Materials Used
    Ballpoint pen (blue and black)
    Cardboard paper (white)
  • Development Process:

Step 1: Made an outline sketching with pencil by combining two different faces - my face and a lion's face

Wow! Amazing interpretation of the theme! Great job!

Thank you very much. I needed to be creative!

Hey there
Very cool half man , half lion , the quality of the drawing very good considering all these details ,and I like that you are telling your drawing process
Which give more trust and teach drawing steps

Yeah, I like that too. Sometimes I do it to show how I ended up creating it. It's always interesting. You could try it with yours.

Thank you for stopping by.

I'll try it thanks

I love this piece of art! Incredible, and laden with symbolism! I do see a human, but only really in the upper left quandrant, it seems like this is more than 75 percent beast!

Yeah! Almost 75! perhaps it could just stay like that and face the fight.

But hey, look closely, some part of his teeth compripes of human's. So not bad if you rate it 69% beast and 31% human!

Awesome drawing! Very sharp and I love how the face gets transformated into a lion, the change is impressive and your concept of "self" with that short story is cool!
