[Art] Wrath Sketch WIP3

I can see a mansion behind her, like one of those Victorian or even neo classical ones.

Whatever period you think it the best.

But she's almost Vampiric, so maybe you can keep with that theme, and make like a fancy deadly house, you know "Interview with a Vampire" style.

Anywho you could focus on the wood work- maybe to symbolize the grain of life or something... some crap they tell us in painting class...

All i can think of is sticking true to the nature of the time period. Embrace it LOOOOOVE IT!!! lol I dunno, jus' a suggestion.

If she were in a field or somethign it wouldn't make too much sence, the only people that killed ppl in fields were like Jack the ripper, and if anything this chic is miiighty mad cuz she walked in on the husband cheating, put her i bedroom!! Women are always associated with sex and vengance. Ok i've DEFINATELY said enough.

    It doesn't need to make sense where she is. I don't think of her as a real person, but as a personification of wrath/anger/fury.. That means, in this case, that she is the 'tool of the devil'.... I actually think I might put her in front of a burning rose hedge...

    It probably won't be in this sketch that way, though. Fire is waaaayyy easier to paint than to colour with pencil crayons.

    LOVE!

      mmm i see, i thought the paintings were going to be more like portraits...

      well lets research symbols of Wrath shall we?

      The riders of the apocolypse...
      snake eyed dice...
      roses...
      pentacles and pentagrams, even though pentacles were a symbol used in tarot and were never meant to be the symbol of satan...

      I need another book..

        And a recently acquired piece of information - Bears!

        I think I still like the burning behind her.


        It IS a portrait, but it's not a portrait of a person. It's a portrait of a sin/emotion. That makes it rather different.

        Besides - I'm a fantasy artist, love. Silly Emmy is forgetting! I must have FANTASY! hehehe Evil
