:::EDIT:::
This is the high resolution scan of this picture. It has been scanned professionally using a massive scanning device that respects daylight and the natural colours. What you see is like the original painting. All structures and details are now finally visible for you. Thanks a lot for looking! <3


"Die Allegorie dor Fichse" - another picture which is based on contradiction which is a tiny bit metaphorical.

The size of the picture and the colour usage was more or less an exhaust of my accumulated energy and inspiration. The idea for the actual picture came after painting the entire background.

When painting the background, something amazing happened to the paper and the colours. Whilst the two different sides of the background are wanted, I didn't expect the colours to float together into the middle and become one thing.
The most fascinating thing for me are the salt crystals that built up after putting on ordinary sea salt. The consitency of thge salt itself was more fine than coarse and left a powdery crystalized layer on the skin when held too long.
That stuff ate quite a lot of my skin around my nails after getting in contact with water.

After the background has dried, I wanted to wipe off the salt with my hands which didn't work at all because the salt crystals got stuck with the acrylic ink and watercolours. Whilst it was drying, a crystal layer built up and made the entire background all glittery and rough.

A good thing I didn't put so much salt on the areas where the characters were added later. xD
The idea for the actual picture came whilst sitting in front of the paper and staring at the background.
Actually, I planned a different motif but it would have been impossible or unfitting.

If I would start interpreting this picture now, I would possibly write too much and people would have to read the whole bunch of my feelings towards it.

As a short version, I would say that it could be seen as an illustration of the manifoldness and contrariness of either our feelings and our world and that everything can lead together to create something new.

The picture itself is 94 x 47 cm large. The framed picture is about 110 x 61 cm large and can be seen here: [link]
It was exhibited at the artshow at MMC12 and it took an entire panel. xD
This will be taken to the Eurofurence this year as well. ^^

Acrylic inks, Watercolours, coloured pencils, Acrylics and much more on slightly perforated/fine-toothed Cornwall watercolour paper.

Maybe there will be jumbo prints available soon.
I have taken this picture with a very improfessional compact digital camera which has less features than my current mobile phone. @_____@

Thanks so much for looking! ^^


Edit: Aaaah! Thank you ever so much for all the comments and favourites! <3<3<3

This is so spectacular...there's just so much in this image to take in! I especially love that orangey red on the right-side fox~

Your mastery over traditional media is amazing.
:icondanji-isthmus:
this is very beautiful. I love all the open air on the picture and the simplicity :heart:
This is something I wish I could see in real life, it's so inspiring :love:

Awesome icon by the =Neltruin person C:
:icontearup:
I am speechless. Even if it may sound rude to only comment that, I still gotta say I love the pose of the wolf to the left. Great picture. How did u draw the black foxes and have them face like that?
:iconyamirenamon:
Very beautiful! I love how the background inspired the rest of the painting.
:iconvirgaflame:
The word "eldritch" comes to mind. This is an amazing study in contrasts, both visual and metaphysical. I particularly like the repeated circle and spiral motifs.
:iconrebellionfighter:
You actually drew this one? What ever the technique is the pic is stunning. So mystic and beautiful, the foxes really give it a good and unique color :)

Boring...

Ich hab das Original ja bereits auf MMC gesehen und muss sagen, daß ich das Bild einfach super genial finde.
Das muss eine Heidenarbeit gewesen sein, wirklich! Plus ich weiß wie schwer es ist korrekte Proportionen auf einer derartigen Größe hinzubekommen.
Wie gesagt, ich bin begeistert, sowohl die Bildidee als auch die Ausführung sind einfach nur super. Das Bild zeigt recht gut, daß du selbst mit deinem jungen Alter schon zu den Leuten gehörst, deren Bilder ich durchaus als "top notch" einstufen würde.
Ich mag nicht unbedingt alle deine Bildideen, aber das muss man ja auch nicht (wobei ich anmerken muss, daß deine Bilder zumindest technisch immer super sind). Aber das Bild trifft einfach genau meinen Geschmack, ich bin mir sicher, daß es auf EF einen Käufer finden wird.
Ein gaaaaaanz klein Wenig Kritik hab ich aber auch anzubringen:
1. Vielleicht wäre es besser eine Glasscheibe in den Rahmen einzulegen, ich wäre echt besorgt, daß das Original beschädigt werden könnte, wenn es so offen aushängt.
2. Der Rahmen ist extrem cool, weil alt und so (da steh ich total drauf, solche Rahmen kauf ich auch immer, wenn ich die Gelegenheit dazu habe), aber leider sieht er schon ein Wenig mitgenommen aus. Ich weiß nicht in wie fern du im Restaurieren von Dingen bewandert bist, aber die gröbsten "Schönheitsfehler" zu beseitigen wäre vielleicht nicht ganz schlecht, oder? (Kann natürlich auch sein, daß das so gewollt ist, in dem Fall will ich dann natürlich nichts gesagt haben.)

Oh god! Let there be brain!

This is definitely one of your best pieces yet. It looks huge even on the screen, as though it should be a mural on a big wall. I love how the composition makes the eye flow to and from the middle, and how the background looks hurried but not as though you just threw colours on at random. It reminds me of Ralph Steadman's work in that respect - your work doesn't look anything like his style, but your recent pieces have this ';planned rushedness' to them and it's wonderful.
