Art Explosion week 23 entry, theme: Conspiracy

in #artexplosion6 years ago

Another great theme! The theme reminds me of "Conspiracy Theorist".
My own theory is that all the biggest theories are bullshit because, like a dinosaur will simply die from circulatory or respiratory problems if it grows too big, so too will a conspiracy die from failure to keep the secret, if it grows too large. There's always someone who spills the beans. The bigger the conspiracy, the quicker the beans get spilled.

Of course I do believe there are conspiracies, in fact billions of them, but they are all 'small' ones, with only 1 or a few people involved, and no one else knows anything about them, because their secret is well-kept. (And of course there are the intermediate size ones, who inevitably come to light within a few years or decades.)

This image has never been posted on Steemit before, I painted it in Photoshop with a Wacom Intuos 3, the larger size (I can never remember the measurements). Started with a sketch, googled some references, then as I was painting over it I tried to use colors to indicate mounting tension, as in "turning up the heat" in a movie, like Quentin Tarantino likes to do. :)

beautiful technique and your choice of lighting is amazing. Thank you for participating.

Damn I love the colours in this great entry!

I love how you have used the warmer yellowish color against the cool green to indicate the brewing tension or danger that's about to unfold. Great stuff.

Oh nice composition, when you see the lap gun you really see the lap gun, but til then maybe don't really notice it 😆 think you did a good job with the colours to make for "rising tension" as well as with the tradition of the cop (i assume).

Is that a sword in the back?

Thanks! No, it's an AR-15 :)

Ah it's a gun, only noticed because you said 😆 and obviously i meant tension rather than tradition, stupid phone 🤣

its more bladerunner2049-ish

btw i believe big conspiracy is what they want us to believe. the real conspiracy is still hidden.

hehe BladeRunner 2049 was kind of like one huge conspiracy :)
but seriously, what I mean is similar to what this article is talking about, it's statistically impossible for large important conspiracies to exist:

I love the color scheme and the overall atmosphere.

Wow. Good work. I like the tension that emerges from the image. And the work has a great pictorial force!
