Into the deep

What to do if a client comes in, asking for a full sleeve project of an underwater scene featuring a kraken drowning a ship?

Throw some tentacles, angry sharks, severed limbs and torn sails into a blender along with rough waves, crushed planks, blood and a loooooot of water and there you are...

Thanks to Paul for giving me the chance to do this on him, loads of fun!

Pictures show some fresh spots here and there, most of it is fully healed...

...from the deepest Depths

Today I had the pleasure to welcome back the infamous Paul™, who´s already some kind of "veteran" here in my blog and those who check regularly know that I´ve done some of my favorite pieces so far on this guy...

This time we decided to go a little bit bigger and started a full sleeve project.
Paul came up with the idea of a kraken pulling a ship underwater - of course, I was excited from the first moment and couldn´t wait to start with it!
As a documentary junkie I pulled out some of my nicest reference books and started to get lost in the line-drawing...

What you can see in these pictures is the result of the first session - we completed all the linework so up next is filling this beast with colours - so stay tuned, dammit!
