SciFi and Fantasy Art: Awakening

February 2004 - Pencil drawing - 50cm x 32cm

The dusk of one species - The dawn of another.
Never in Earth' history there has been more renewal and spreading of life than after the great extinction waves. This probably won't change in the future...

My contribution to the Epilogue 'Renewal' art contest.

*First comment dance!!!*

It's great! I love the feeling of after-doom (the grey-scale was a perfect choice!) and beginning a-new (the li'le fairies) so perfectly brought together. The skull seems a little odd, but the perspective is absolutely austounding.

Great work.

:-) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you Teresa! Maybe the skull looks so odd because I kept it close to a photo reference I took from a skull model from school and the rest of the picture isn't referenced as closely. I agree there is a slight difference in style or shading... I can't exactly name it."

*Gasps* I didn't get first comment! AAAH! Oh well... *does an odd second comment jig* Really cool and moody... Where ever you get your insparations you get some really good ones...

:-) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you Elfy! ;-) Hehe, as stated in my bio. A little bit depression in the mood helps..."

I agree... moodiness all the way! It's the part of pics that some people miss, not you though! I'll say again, very nice!

:-) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Well, I meant a bit depression in the mood of the artist helps to get some touch of feeling in the pictures as well..."

Fairies after us... Yes, why not. A strong message in this one. And the perspective is effective.

:-) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Hi Johanna! Long time no talk! 2 Thank you. It was something I finished surprisingly quickly because of the deadline. Still it turned out well. I guess deadlines are a good practice. ^.^ "

Very good piece of B&W art, i like the angles you choose to use and the simbolism of the picture.

:-) Esther S. Brendel (Maiden name: Esther S. Wetzel) replies: "Thank you very much for your comment and sorry for the late reply."
