FACEPOCALYPSE

More oil painting action. Started the Earth Deity painting on an acrylic underpaint.  Blocking in some shape out in my studio (backyard).

And more work on the Psychopomp.

I didn’t mean to spray drips on the left side, or by the hand… Had too much turps.

It’s getting close to ‘done’ though. The skin parts and hair are done, just clothing, mothbits and the orbs. Might add some graphic kinda linework, too.

Reshaped the deity, added a few plants and cattle for a bit of scale. Will push the depth so the deity looks like it’s just coming in from the distance, exaggerating the scale.

I’ve been floating around word of my upcoming Mythology group exhibition. It’s scheduled to open on 17th April but I haven’t made any promo material yet. I want to produce a series of reinterpretations. As such, I’ll be depicting mythological deities common across many cultures in a more contemporary context.

Here’s something I’m working on:

This is just a thumbnail.

Also I may revert the earth deity to look more like I’d originally intended:

A bit less humanoid and more disjointed and cumbersome.
