This doodle was inspired by Flock of Seagulls’ ‘Space Age Love Song’ from 1982, and Bumbu rum. The first stanza is, like, “I saw your eyes, and you made me smile, for a little while, I was falling in love.” I interpreted it into this fan art / original piece. I’ve said before I’m unapologetic about artwork involving eyes, as they are the very cliche ‘windows to the soul’. I’ll shut up now and let it speak for itself.
This started out as something else, but my art rarely goes where I want it to – which is not a bad thing; it’s part of the adventure. I originally was going for a take on Munch’s ‘The Scream’, but somewhere along the way blended the surrealistic aspects of his work and more traditional painting – probably because I wanted to practice shading. As a fantasy piece, the story is of a knight, a Paladin or otherwise, who takes a moment to rest. The scene captures that moment that the borders between the dream-lands and the world we live in blur; where sleep takes over our thoughts. In the background, are they the swirling mists of her dream or a sinister portent of battle to come?
