It’s quite hard to say exactly what my original vision was, as it has warped and morphed over the two years trying to steer the ship in the right direction.
The ‘clouds’ in the foreground were never supposed to be so prominent, and lacking details and depth. He’s tattooed solid black blotches. You can see on the left nipple one he has tried to put some depth into it with grey wash after my expressions of concern.
The sun was to be shaded from the inside out, orange to red.
The top half of the background shading was supposed to be to the same details as the bottom half (no visible lines, just shadings)
What I was after, was a symmetrical, detailed, beautiful flowing piece of artwork that represented light and dark and the relationship between the two.
What I got was something different.
In hindsight, I should have listened to my heart a bit more and split a lot earlier in the saga, but he had my money, and was very convincing of his ability. A lot of the sittings felt like an experiment, or practice for him.
