Good night or good morning everyone, hope u all doing great.
Today I want to share my entry for Zingtober's "Heavy" day, and this time I decided to approach the theme from a slightly different perspective. Instead of thinking of something simply "heavy," I wanted to take it into the realm of Heavy Metal, with all its power, energy, and attitude.
When I saw the theme, the first thing that came to mind was that powerful vibe that classic album covers have. I have always been fascinated by how heavy metal manages to convey such intense emotions, mixing darkness, strength, and a kind of wild freedom.
Since Zingtober is about reinterpreting characters from the Holozing universe, I wanted to use Cinela and the Light Healer as a team to create my interpretation.
I have some favourite metal bands, so I wanted to make my own.
I made it in Photoshop, and honestly, it took me several days to finish it. I was going to post it last night, but I wasn't feeling well, so I decided to wait a bit. To be honest, my history with lines is a bit complicated; it's not something that comes easily or naturally to me. Sometimes I feel like lines challenge me more than they should, but this time I wanted to let myself go, without pressure.
In a way, this drawing is also a tribute to those artists who blend the spiritual with the rebellious, the celestial with the earthly. I've always liked that duality that exists in heavy metal: the struggle between darkness and light, between chaos and harmony.
The process was intense but a lot of fun. I tried to maintain contrast without using overly strong shadows, since the Light Healer's outfit is almost entirely white. That's why I chose a dark background, to make it stand out better and preserve that balance between black and white.
I could have performed "Heavy" in many other ways, but this interpretation seemed to me to be the most appealing and closest to what I wanted to convey. Thank you for reading and being here with me π₯. I hope this piece conveys a little bit of that powerful Heavy Metal vibe...
Oh, and one more thing before I wrap up...
