Gargoyles in the Hallwayby ~tarkheki

Traditional Art / Paintings / Fantasy

I normally don't submit images prior to their "official unveiling" (due date in class), but I was struggling to contain myself for such a long time, and I finally gave in.

We had to make a painting of an interior, and I decided I wanted to push my envelope and go to the next level. I worked out the perspective, I taped the edged so they would be crisp and exact, I angled some of the bricks to look more organic/man-made, and I put down about 3-6 washes of various color before I started on the detail, and this is my baby.
I am above satisfied with this... I am freakin' PROUD!

I will forever count this as one of those images that made a breakthrough in my art!

Well, damn. There goes my chances of being the best artist on deviantart.com. See ya, kid. *walks away mumbling*

Thanks, but I guarantee you, there isn't a "best artist" on Devianart. It's really just a matter of taste.

GARGOYLES !!!!

One thing I love in architecture is gargoyles.. They are the coolest things ever and this piece makes me want to try and draw a gothic church again! *did a very bad one along time ago..

Oh wow. Brilliant coloring and perspective. It really draws your eye in.

That is what I was aiming for! I love grotesques.

Of all the pictures in your gallery, this was one of the ones that caught my eye most of all. I just can't get over the shading and coloring. o_o I love the details like the individual cracks in the walls and on the gargoyle.

Looks rather clean for an interior of an old castle though. I'd hate to be a maid in that place. XD

THank you so much for all your comments! I really appreciate it and I'm glad you like my work! Yah, this gouache painting is one of my favs. I loved working on it too!
