Steampunk Myths and Legends Entry: Cory Jespersen

Cory, I really admire the way you’ve kept this fresh and alive as a painting.

I’ve been looking in from time to time, and it’s interesting seeing your decisions adn changes of mind - and what you’ve left out. (I really liked the Dikensian character with the top hat at one point).

You have a really well thought out composition. If I might comment, the car on the right is floating a bit - needs something to ground it, and to separate it a tad from the bush.
I wonder if you could separate the foreground more from the mid-ground by laying more of a shadow across, which will also bring the boy forward more.

Fantastic colours and gestural paint work.

Good luck!!

Goliath was a three story tall mechanical scorpion. In Greek mythology the Scorpion was a monster summoned at the will of a wrathful goddess to create destruction. No soldier or arm would try to stop the goliath beast.

David was a young shepherd boy who believed in god. He said, “The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” David took his his large smooth stone grasping it tightly throwing it at the evil Goliath… well I think we all know what happens next.
I would like to thank everyone who commented on my page and gave me the advise that I needed to push my image along. Good luck to all!

Congrats on finishing ahead of time! This came out really great, and has a really nice painterly feel to it. Are there any close up details you have of the work? I also like how you combined different legends into one.
