My first Digital painting.

:::::::::::::::::::::::: Faith...Depleted::Sin...Completed. ::::::::::::::::::::::::

In our Modern age, when We have reached the nadir of morality, AND Faith...no
matter in which God, seems to be depleting away fast.

This artwork is a culmination of spontaneous use of certain tools, Including
Graphite Technical pencil on rotten paper(without eraser), Digital Painting, Photo Manipulation and 3D.

Symboloic of Human sins are the Dices which denote vices such as Gambling,
Distant Background includes structures of relegious worship faded away from
our conscience...and the Towering Godheads resemble The Megaliths from
Easter Islands...which were built and revered much before any relegion took
shape...potraying...That Afterall, we all pray to the same Spiritual
Power...when we do...if we do.

The "Incomplete" look is deliberate... a la Parkes.
It was done to evoke a feeling of blankness and erosion of faith.Maybe I try too hard.

Anyway...here are a few WIP and detail shots.

I love your stuff man- what was the original resolution of this piece?

Very inventive with the use of media- I can relate to your pains- my expose 2 entry got corrupted in painter- :rolleyes:

The subject of the piece is really interesting- are you familiar with the cosmic cycle of the Yugas?

Did you get the e-mail I sent you?

Keep up the great work!:)

Arliss, are you Jeff? of Digital Samadhi??

Anyway, The original res of this piece was somewhere around 10,000 X 5000 Px @ 600 Dpi.
It can be printed in sizes of 90 Inches and above without distortion.

Yes I am aware of the Yugas.It is believed that the Universe we live in is all but a dream of Lord Vishnu.and It will end and will have to be rebuit when Vishnu wakes up from his sleep.

Yuga is an era of several thousands of years....and several Yugas make a Kalpa which equals just a brief moment in Lord Vishnu's Life.

MOre on that in my next iece ....
Thanks for the idea ,Btw.:lightbulb
