Title: Shaman
Name: Timo Vihola
Country: Finland
Software: Photoshop

Stumbled upon an old sketch today, I think it was for my cave man short film from around 2002-2004.
I never completed the short film due to animation problems but I thought this picture could work well as a stand alone piece so I worked on it the whole day and managed to finish it.

I wanted to have small skulls on his palm but when I painted the eye sockets and noses the lower right corner became way too crowded. In the end I settled for very small rocks -
and very small rocks are better than skulls anyway because they float on water, according to Monty Python :)

Cheers,
