Consumed in my mind, I began this new project, perhaps with different opinions for the viewers. The title of the art is "THE LAST LOVE". One accurate interpretation might be that of our last love who left this life, or perhaps we lost them due to life's circumstances. You might also view it from another perspective, where the warrior ended a life where they were always manipulated, always consumed, and lived depending on a love that corrupted them from within. Any opinion or interpretation, I'd love to hear in the comments. Next, I'll tell you how I created each detail with a brief explanation of my perspective.
Consumi茅ndome en mi mente, comenc茅 este nuevo proyecto con quiz谩s opiniones diferentes hacia los espectadores. El t铆tulo del arte es "THE LAST LOVE". Quiz谩s una interpretaci贸n acertada sea la de nuestro 煤ltimo amor que se fue de esta vida o quiz谩s la perdimos por cuestiones de la vida. Tambi茅n podr铆as tomarla desde otro lado, donde el guerrero dio fin a una vida donde siempre lo manipularon, donde siempre fue consumido y vivi贸 dependiendo de un amor que lo corromp铆a por dentro. Cualquier opini贸n o interpretaci贸n me gustar铆a saberla en los comentarios. A continuaci贸n, te relatar茅 c贸mo fui creando cada detalle con una breve explicaci贸n de mi mirada.
Below, you have the superimposed images to appreciate how the idea was from the beginning and how it developed over time in this interpretation. I started by sketching on a separate piece of paper to be able to merge them and avoid mixing too many layers. In total, there were around 31 layers and, after several corrections, I removed part of the feet to blend them with the grass using a fusion technique.
I continued with the background. The field looked very bright, but it was a matter of taking some time to create a light and contrast in the grass that would attract us like insects to a light. The background was painted almost black, and illuminated with a light on the circular part of the grass. Using the warrior's lighting as a reference, I was able to enhance the brightness of his armor and the grass. I also added blood paint over his armor to give it a touch of realism.
Continu茅 con el fondo, el campo se ve铆a muy iluminado, pero era cuesti贸n de tomarse cierto tiempo para crear una luz y un contraste en el pasto que nos hicieran sentir atra铆dos como insectos a la luz. El fondo fue pintado con un color casi negro, y se ilumin贸 con una luz en la parte circular del pasto. Tomando como referencia la iluminaci贸n del guerrero, se pudo aclarar m谩s el brillo de su armadura y del pasto. Tambi茅n agregu茅 pintura de sangre sobre su armadura para darle un toque de realismo.
To reinforce the message of the weary warrior, or one shrouded in darkness due to his situation, I decided to add the figure of a woman. To avoid overwhelming the process of image information elimination, I carefully painted the grass to create depth around her. Since her feet do not appear in the initial image, I came up with the idea of creating a fading effect to add a magical touch to the process. Both her face and feet have a subtle dispersion.
What situation could generate many interpretations? A death, yes, but how could it occur? I came up with the idea of including a sword and, with some brushstrokes on its shadows and the blood reflected on it, creating the impression of a death caused either by the warrior or someone else. The lights were prepared for the sword apart from the layers that eventually integrated into the final image. I also had to create shadows on the woman on the ground and apply blood to her. Imagination has no limits; the limits can certainly be set by oneself in the moment of creativity. I hope you'll accompany me in the practice of my courses and let me know what you think.
驴Qu茅 situaci贸n podr铆a generar muchas interpretaciones? Una muerte, s铆, pero 驴c贸mo se podr铆a dar? Se me ocurri贸 la idea de incluir la participaci贸n de una espada y, con unas pinceladas en sus sombras y la sangre reflejada en ella, crear la impresi贸n de una muerte ocasionada, ya sea por el guerrero o por alguien m谩s. Las luces fueron preparadas para la espada aparte de las capas que terminaron integr谩ndose al final. Tambi茅n tuve que crear sombras en la mujer en el suelo y aplicarle sangre. La imaginaci贸n no tiene l铆mites; los l铆mites ciertamente los puede poner uno mismo al momento de la creatividad. Espero que me acompa帽es en la pr谩ctica de mis cursos y que me cuentes qu茅 te parecen.
