SciFi and Fantasy Art The Black Parade by Kathleen Hardy

Tag As FavoriteComment

This is my newest and most complex work ever!  A steampunk-esque group of  fairies, sorcerers, vampires, voodoo priests, and Victorian ladies and gentlemen converge on a dark New Orleans street corner for a midnight parade to... wherever they want!

 

Inspired in part by My Chemical Romance's song, "Welcome to the Black Parade", this work took more than 100 hours to complete, from the first sketches to the final detailed drawing through the completed oil painting.

 

I'm very proud of this work, as it is a departure for me and it was a very complex piece with lots of elements that had to work together. I hope that I've achieved a new level with my work that will carry over to my future work.

That is incredible work. I’m a fan of highly detailed pictures and I also love how it is deviation from the ’normal’ sci-fi and fantasy pictures. Great work.
