Paradise Lost Progress....

the Quote (Milton: Paradise Lost) :

"Oh Prince, Oh chief of many throned powers,

That led the embattled seraphim to war

Under thy conduct, and in dreadful deeds

Fearless, endangered Heaven’s perpetual King;

And put to proof his high supremacy,

Whether upheld by strength, or chance, or fate,

Too well I see and rue the dire event,

That with sad overthrow and foul defeat

Hath lost us Heaven."

The first layer is the Periwinkle and almost complete.

The second layer is the light green, obviously just being started.

The background will have mostly darks so I am trying to keep it that way with just a few dark colors in the layers.

Working more on the first of many illustrations. This one is very large ( 18 x 24 ) while most of the others will be small ( 5 x 7 ) and composed in a special sketchbook I've kept just for the paradise lost illustrations. There will be a few this large but only the parts of the book that jump out so much i feel the need to make them larger. :)

Enjoy.

Making Progress

I am now working on the first layer of God's body. Trying to get the 'periwinkle' in so I can start on the background in general.

God's face

Working on some more of the illustration. Getting all the first layer in.
