The Legacy
My first painting in 2008. After a few more quiet settings in my paintings I had to create an ‘action’ piece for my portfolio. A painting which contains some eyecatching elements. Generally I would say this painting was not a planned one. It evolved while I played with it. The longer I worked on it the more detail I explored within the picture. I constantly got ideas on how to make it even more interesting. I guess you could interpret this painting as a recapitulation of my last years experience, just in case you want to have an explanation of a deeper meaning in this painting. In the end, once again, I worked too long on it. But the overall result is satisfying. It’s a nice addition to my collection… and very different to my usual works so far.
Technique wise I worked with a matte painting mixture again. I would settle the pic more into "paintings" though. It is worked out very rough since I wanted a concept art like look. The new thing I tried in this painting was to use filters. A lot of filters. Mainly to create a certain kind of look for the brush strokes and other elements like textures. I still have to work on that technique and I think it will help me with a few things in the future. To add interesting foliage i used vuedesprit to create some stand ins.

A Spacecraft the size of 10 Football fields crashes and parts of it are scattered in a 200 mile square radius that 5 years later we get to see flying cars, technological marvels unleashed, new source of GREENER fuel, healthier good tasting food, the cure to many unsolved illness and diseases and even a new species of critters that alter the face of this world and eventually by 2050 the Moon will be completely colonize as well as Mars <3 as well as by then about 30 other races from across the galaxy finally moved in after the first spaceport is build 30 miles above the North Pole :3
Is there a backstory to this piece or did it just come to your mind?
awesome
