THE TURTLE


Here's one that I've been picking away at for awhile in between a few other projects. After working on a few EK pieces that were a little more conceptual in nature it was nice to get back to the free form, and work on something that was looser and a little more impromptu. This one started as a rough character sketch that I thought looked like a turtle, so everything grew out of that. There is some symbolism involved but it is secondary to the image and I won't go into that here.

Higher rez., and details at my Flickr.

Enjoy!

  2. Thanks for the kind words Peter. As for the backgrounds, they are created digitally with a brush in photoshop.

    Take care - Derek
