Tackling One of the Old EV Themes
Since I joined the Enchanted Visions Project back in August of 2010, I have been steadily tackling the list of existing themes on top of the current monthly ones. In the beginning, I was able to do one of the old themes and a theme of the month every month. Lately, I'd be lucky if I manage to do the current one on time. I usually managed to get it done within 7 to 10 days of the deadline, but I have been late a few times.
I've been wanting to do "Tempest of Ice" since I joined EV. I had several ideas that were floating around in my head, but nothing really "appeared" on paper as I sat at the drawing table. Finally though, I had a vision and I'm going to be able to paint my interpretation of "Tempest of Ice". :D
I wanted the warrior to look a little more beaten up, but no, he doesn't look that way in this concept/pencil sketch version. I will have to work that into the image later on. But the basic idea is the bond between a pack of wolves and a human. There will be a wall of ice (like a frozen waterfall) behind them to suggest that this is the battle weary warrior's last stand with the help from the pack of wolves.
I used to draw male characters a lot when I did a lot of fan art for friends on deviantART. I have nothing against drawing male characters. I certainly am not allergic to the idea or anything. It's that ... oddly enough, it often makes me feel "strange"... as if I'm ogling at a guy. ^^; And if all goes well and the character ends up looking great, then I might goof off "admiring" my own drawing a little too much. Not the most productive way to spend the day. But I finally decided this was the time and a good theme to do it with since some people have accused me of sticking only with women and flowers. LOL
At any rate, I didn't use a reference for the guy, so any likeness to anyone is purely coincidental. I do, however, admit that the actor Vladimir Kulich, from "The 13th Warrior", was floating in my mind as I drew this sketch. The warrior here will be platinum blond and blue eyed, most likely. I had an alternative set of details which had an Asian guy in a similar scenario, but the aforementioned movie must have won me over in this. XD
