Dear cgtalk people, I am new to the forums, even newer to the cg world, here is my first concept sketch for this challenge: Invictus!
I adore the 70&80’s illustrations, especialy Valejo"s and Frazetta’s album covers and movie posters, so I decided to prepare somethink like them. My idea is not totaly finished and it’s subjected to change during the proggression of the mile stones, so please be passioned. I inspired from the famous poem of William Ernest Hanley and an other idea came from Tarot cards. The Hanged man card esspecialy a strange Tarot card. A man is hanged from his leg upside down through a well and there are strange perils out side and deep inside of this well. And our hanged man tries to endulge sweet taste of honey that is leaking out from the wall of the shaft.
In my drawing, the hanged man relased himself somehow, he fought his way out from the pit. Eventough those perils fallows him to our world, the hanged man now endulges a glass of sweet and ice cold margarita with an ironic grinn on his face and self confidance in his hearth.
