Two Wolves Hunting

Description

This was a piece from a series I was working on at school. I was looking at 19th medical illustration, medieval bestiary illustration, and old printed fairy tale illustrations. They were then combined to make a new sort of visual language.

The 'trees' were originally constructed from various medical illustrations (can you find the prostate? :) ), and then made from the 'language' of medical illustration. Mmm, veins. This stemmed off from research about ways of knowing, particularly old, forgotten and/or abandoned ones.

This was one of those drawing-2-inches-from-the-surface drawings, done with tiny little pens. I used gray and black pens to try to give a tiny bit of depth to the image. Neck has a permanent crick now. Very stress relieving, though :D

will upload some details later

The whole landscape/background becomes so utterly creepy when you realise what they're made of.:XD: But, great work! The detailing is amazing!

And, I love the style the wolves are drawn in. Very eastern and medieval. :D
