This was a piece done for an ImagineFX.com forum challenge, for which they have not officially posted a winner of but I believe it was the winning piece based on the votes of the forum participants. I’m very proud to come out on top in this one because there were some very good entries.
I started thinking about my character and while sketching I started making him a little business man like, then loosened up his shirt and he became more Miami chic. So I rolled up his pants and gave him strapped sandals making him look a little like hes done with business and ready for the beach boardwalk or the everglades. So then I started thinking about Florida and what kind of warlock would live There. That lead me to a Haitian population concept and shifted him to being more reminiscent of a witch doctor. These are just a few of the silhouette studies I did.
I then created the initial sketch for the piece with a implied story.
And the final piece. There were supposed to be a few more details, but I was running out of time.
“Rebirth”
And here is a detail.
