Original: The Spiral Staircaseby *Risachantag

Digital Art / Paintings & Airbrushing / Sci-Fi

This is another one of those pictures that I never thought I'd actually get done. I had a few days at work where I didn't have anything to do, so my boss let me paint whatever I wanted to. I brought in my original sketch from home and then worked pretty solidly on it.

The idea came simply from wanting to do a picture featuring a spiral staircase. As drawing one from scratch is a pain, I did a quick mock-up in 3D, then painted over it. As for the concept, it's loosely based on my personification of science fiction and fantasy.

Time: About 24 hours over four days
Tools: Photoshop CS3 & Wacom Intuos Tablet

I love the billow-y-ness of the scarves and such and how well you represented fantasy and sci-fi...the colors are well suited too

I really love this picture. It's gorgeous... kinda reminds me of my love life right now... except the stairs that you've so wonderfully drawn are not crumbling...

Love this!!!!!

*Kneeling-Glory May 15, 2012 63 comments

In April, we asked group members to stalk a CV or $taff member to help dispel the myth that these people are too important for everyday deviants to get to know. In fact, many of them produce great art and have fun personalities just like you and me! Here's what we found out:Staffers:iconmoo nbeam1...
