The Nightmareby *vinegar

Digital Art / Drawings & Paintings / Macabre & Horror

_{Another art challenge by , , and
For each challenge we interchangeably give ourselves an idea or topic to illustrate and a short, specified time to execute it in whatever shape or form... of course, without knowing what the others are going to come up with.

This week's topic is `daekazu's idea: Interpretation of Nightmare by Johann Heinrich Füssli >>> [link].}

_____

Only a concept sketch this time.. again. I'm too busy with work at the moment. But I have a pretty solid idea for it now.. though you might not see it yet. I wanted to interpret Fuseli's piece not word-to-word, but rather as an idea he wanted to show. A nightmare. A woman (just like in the original) slowly driven into madness by her own consciousness. We'll see how it turns out when I'm done with it..

I didn't want to follow it literally, I've seen so many interpretations of it while studying (History of Art), I was aiming more for a dialogue with the piece than strict variant on the topic.

I've been also recently re-reading Sandman again, so Delirium might've something to do with the concept as well as Fuseli's piece itself.

Others!

Fantastic work love the colours and brush strokes used

This is simply Gorgeous! I love the strokes and shading you used. As well as the gray scale with pops of color. It produced a very nice image!

The medium really emphasizes-- even defines-- the tone of this piece. The subject matter is compelling as well... That's a win in my book.

Jealous! I want to do an art challange thing again, I used to do it a long time ago with my own friends but then it just stopped and no one wants to start again
