Aries - Sketch Phase
Added 2018-02-07 20:17:16 +0000 UTCKicking off the second to last piece in the zodiac series!
Unlike a lot of the recent pieces, I only did one sketch for Aries. It was a straight line from idea to pencil to paper. Which is how I think a lot of people think it works, but it rarely works like that.
Aries is all about instigating things, so having a transgressive appearance felt essential. I want it to look dangerous and in control. Something that threads the line between classically angelic and classically demonic. Something that mixes the symbolism of the Greek source material with the Abrahamic foundations of the project.
This is going to be a lot of fun to paint. I just hope it's not too "on the nose" for you Arieses out there.
