The Fall

Here is my version of Forbidden Lands, completed ...

I chose to reverse the angle of view, in order to be more in agreement with the direction of reading that I wish to give to the image. The city is wedged on the left, in order to visualize the scene from right to left: the city belongs to the past, its fate is sealed.

The lady's dress has an excessively long train. It merges with the rock. Like a stream of blood ... The woman wears the veil, like a widow. As for the rock which supports her, it voluntarily has the shape of a mouth, even if it isn't distinguished at first sight.

Under its appearance of natural process, it is an apocalypse which takes place in this image.

I hope you will have as much fun looking at my drawing as I've had making it! Thank for your attention. :)

Today I focus on the hill! I work the sky a little ...

I work on the fabric material (still to be refined) and the light effects.

The maelstrom is being refined. I readjust the contrasts between my shots.

The sky takes shape ...

I quickly put the masses of colors to get an idea of the colorful atmosphere.

My participation for the contest "Forbidden Land, Fallen Empires and Ancient Guardians". I'm just getting started. I hope to succeed in creating the image that trots in my head.

I imagine a silhouette which dominates a city ... Does she contemplate it? Does she condemn it? I want to give free rein to everyone's imagination on her role in this picture.
