SciFi and Fantasy Art Labrys by Nils-Erik Lindström


	This axe is based on ritual axes found in the Minoan civilization on Crete. I imagined it to be made entirely of metal to be swung by really large agressive creatures like Cyclops or Minotaurs.

8 Aug 2004	Girl from Belgium	Loading... no comments yet ???? how's that posible????? it's a great picture I love it you're a great artist love your art
3 Sep 2004	Interested artist's	Loading... We love that look of the handle! The double sided blade... Nice but looks to b a lil on the long side. But very nice all together!! Question though... Is it water color wit a charcoal outline? Paola & Jessica
13 Oct 2004	Nils-Erik Lindström <therealnisse@hot...com<	Loading... It is actually a bit more complicated than that. Originally it is a pencil drawing that I scanned. I then polarised the art in Photoshop so that the pencilled lines turn really black. I printed the result on a very good laser printer and then I used ink to create the shading effects. The end result that you see here is, of course, scanned once again. I suppose you could get the same result using ink and charcoal outline. Perhaps I went a bit over the top...
