Artist's Comments

This week for Shanth Enjeti...
COLOR
We were assigned "6 color keys (4in x 2in) from an epic story involving a quest, a kingdom, and a battle with a great beast". I wrestled with this early in the week and was generally pretty colossally unproductive until yesterday when I decided I was gonna do moments from King David (which is an amazing story, that I hope to one day work on in much greater scope and detail).

I always wrestle with color, but I'm beginning to enjoy it (Shanth's fault) and these started as a struggle, but wound up being alot of fun to do. It's a great exercise to work with these little things, and I think I'll do more...maybe even do one a day during wintersession.

They're not in chronological order. But for those unfamiliar with the story, the moments are:

David and Goliath - The Ark Returns to Jerusalem
The Death of Saul - David and Bathsheba
David Annointed King - Saul and the Witch of Endor

The images are subtle enough to bring about different interpretations
The color coordination is terrific
The subjects themselves are laced with emotion
Love your style

J'adore the Ark of the Covenant scene. It's so stark and full of joy at the same time. I honestly don't know how you do it.

And no one believes me when I say that the Bible is two steps away from being a Hollywood blockbuster...

Good stuff! I think by now you've more than proven your ability to convey... well just about anything, without words or text. It's downright Samurai-Jack-level awesomeness.

Wow, thats really great, these colors!
:iconsharsarannon:
Such an awesome concept. I love how neatly graphic these turned out, little color thumbnails that would really help keep a design element to these if you were to make them into bigger finished pieces or scenes. Very well done!
