Orc wins! |
I figure you blog readers might like to know, beyond its blizzard-y content, I based the composition loosely around one of my very favourite paintings -- The Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks by Ilya Repin.
There are few works of art that I think get across such a great sense of story. Repin was a master of this. I learned a lot about story with this piece -- makes you wish the man were still alive so we could all go ask him :)
I noticed that when I saw your picture :)
ReplyDeleteActually, I'm myself from Zaporozhye, it's in Ukraine
An excellent point of inspiration to create a great work of art! I love the design! It has become my favorite wallpaper!
