Occult image retouch experiment


VectorWhiz

Recommended Posts

Affinity Designer is the program I use most from the Affinity suit and I haven't yet done a lot with Affinity Photo. So I thought it was time to do a little experimenting. I found an image of an occult statue on line, that intrigued me and used it to retouch it to my personal preference. I narrowed its wings and changed its face somewhat (among other things).

I have to practice more with Affinity Photo, which I will do when I have more time. Being a vector drawing aficionado this type of work is a little out of my comfort zone, but looking outside of it probably is a good thing to do in this life, bearing in mind that many matters obviously are intentionally induced and imposed, which of course has a certain purpose that does not necessarily concur with my intuition.

This reminds me, in style, of the artwork of Luis Royo, love his work.

I was inspired by art that I encountered in my (analog) airbrush days by Boris Vallejo, which seems to have some level of similarity to Luis Royo's art. In particular Vallejo's painting below (Vampiric Tutor Kiss) intrigued me:

Very much in the same vein, although Luis Royo is a bit more; shall we say, deviant. His son Romulo Royo also has a very similar style to his dad but I like his art subject in 2017 -18 https://www.romuloroyo.com/en/gallery/
