SF&F Picture 35 out of 35 by JF Trudel.

SciFi and Fantasy Art: Den doede kongens hvilested

The title would translate as 'The Resting Place of the Dead King'. This piece is just random inspiration thrown together actually:

- Black Metal (well, it was gothic metal really, Tristania, Sins of Thy Beloved, Sirenia, and Trail of Tears, but there are black metal influences here and there);
- Lord of the Rings (I guess you can 'see' what I mean);
- The art of Theodor Kittelsen (heavy dose, and that's also why I went for a Norwegian title).

I was going for a bleak, sad, and very lonely and dark landscape picture. I hope I have achieved that, and that it will come haunt you in your sleep.

Well, like the feeling in the picture. dark and mysterious.

13 Jan 2005	Tomas HVM	Loading... I have to agree with the comment that there are too many birds. I think it would have worked better if the birds were more gathered, not so scattered, and used to create depth in the drawing. Jeg liker forresten å se referanser til Theodor Kittelsen. Han er virkelig en mester i mysterier og stemning (that's my native language, and it's beautiful... .
