Latest Update,
Ok, gotta leave for work soon and I do the dreaded close-openings so I wanted to check adherence to the brief before diving into painting. So far I think I've covered the particulars. The topic of companions is straight forward enough, the themes and mood Halloween inspired. I'm not American so I don't typically think the commercial aspects of Halloween but more pagan All Hallow's Eve or Samhain, A celebration of the harvest and also a time where the veil between worlds weakened and supernatural beings crossed over. I also wanted to compare that there was at least some indication of Zapata's work being emulated. The background ambient but with a slight indication of habitat. The characters the only real subject of interest. Almost void of gravity, or possessing their own. Also webbing is getting fun to paint...
So here we have a start, a Banshee and her Beastly Companion enjoying the spoils of a Samhain Hunt.
