I don't know who these characters are supposed to be, and I don't know who the artist is. (There's a signature, but I can't make it out.)
But holy shit, just look at this work. Look at how much time and energy was devoted to just the foliage. Look at the way the artist has suggested the mist rising at the bottom of the waterfall.
Look at the attention given to the wrinkles in the brunette's top, and how they stretch with the twisting of her torso.
Look at the bright patch of yellow on her skirt, and the spot of almost-white flesh on her arm, where the direct sunlight is hitting them.
The whole thing is just fucking awesome.
As I catfight fan, I would like to see the contact be more aggressive and erotic. But as an artist, I could spend thirty minutes just studying the detail that's gone into this.
If you know the name of this artist, or whether he/she has produced any other work, I'd appreciate hearing from you.
Ya; the artist's name is Eric "Ebas" Basaldua; art is from a comics cover for Grimms Fairy tales, by Zenoscope, Al Rio did a version too that's also pretty hot. Ebas has a lot of art posted on deviantart.
ReplyDeleteI think the woman on the left is supposed to be Snow White. Not sure who is on the right.
ReplyDeleteActually, the two characters are the "storytellers" af the series, named Belinda and Sela; they influence peoples lives by drawing parallels with fairy tales, usually in a grim and ironic fashion; in this picture, they are playing out the story of Snow White and Rose Red.
