Holy moley! It's fricking FANTASTIC! I think of Prometheus (proto/ideal humans), satanism (horns, glyphs) and the Vitruvian Man. Any connection to The Ancients?
Reviews for "Antithesis"
themefinland responds:
Thanks man! Occultism in general was the inspiration behind this and a couple of others that came before this (This one is a sequal of sorts to two other drawings I have made previously, see if you can figure out which!). The ancients and the old ones are very much also behind the inspiration to this, with the theme of unfathomable and incomprehensible things and knowledge.
wow... this is a very AWESOME, detailed, and beautiful drawing!
its so dark, and so mysterious... i like how you cleverly use nice shading/lighting effects, and that the creature is tall, impressive, and scary, with nicely drawn scales, strange horns on its head, 3 eyes (two on its face, closed, and 1 large on the top of its head, open), many fingers, and with glowing runic signs on its body.
also, despite the creature's fearsome appearance, its pose/gesture, indicate the nature of a calm, reasonable intellectuall, a wise creature that is here to teach things, to enlighten people, and not to destroy them.
hence the matching title, ''antithesis''. (the opposite(s)).
wisdom and stoicism, in one creepy package.
i like how it holds its hand in a V shape/gesture, and it thus makes the ''enlightment'' movement, in order to teach everything to the viewer/ to the narrator.
also, the story is great as well: i loved all the details, and the nice/atmospheric narrative.
overall, you did a GREAT work, please do more stuff like this, keep it up... you rock!

Thanks a lot for the very in depth comment man! It was very nice to read that, and hear your interpretations on this, which were pretty much spot on. Worry not however, as I will keep on drawing and you will most likely see stuff like this in the future :)
thank you.
What a fantastic drawing! It kind of reminds me of Beerus from Dragonball Z.
I love the colors, the shading, the theme, the background, pretty much everything. One thing I really like about this drawing is how you can see the reflection of his legs on the ground. A very nice little touch.
This is a superb drawing and you deserved frontpage for it.
Keep up the great work!
Thought it was Beerus from DB Super....
