Description
A woman with long dark hair in a flowery dress clings to a rock on what is perhaps the tiniest island in existence, little more than a rocky sandbar. The wind buffets her dress and hair as waves crash all around. Off in the distance a tiny sail can be seen receding into the distance.
This artwork was roughly inspired by a couple of famous paintings by Howard Pyle, both of which depicted marooned pirates. I got to see a large copy of one of them when I visited the Provost Dungeon in Charleston, SC a few months ago.
About how I create my artwork:
Rather than traditional forms of art such as painting or photography I use a computer to create my images. It's called 3D Rendering and works like so: I make a scene by sculpting and arranging digital models in a virtual 3D space. After stipulating lighting and atmospheric effects I have the computer create a simulated environment from which I take a virtual snap shot of the scene. Then using image editing software and something more akin to traditional painting techniques (via a Wacom tablet) I go over the work adjusting colors adding brushwork painting in details etc. to produce the final image. Software I use includes: Sculptris ZBrush Blender3d Vue Daz Studio and GIMP.
Thanks for looking!

Very lyrical and frightening at the same time. Excellent work, down to the markings on the boulder. F/V

Greatly balanced composition and very dramatic staging with the effect of the wind blowing through the scene in a very convincing manner! L
