"The Timeless Prisoner" finished

Alas, it has been a bit of work here and there much of the week, but I have finally finished "The Timeless Prisoner"



I will admit it, about half way though working with this image, I really wasnt feeling my old sketch anymore, so I decided to redraw it... This happens sometimes, while working with a picture, nothing is truly set in stone, and sometimes you feel that you can improve your original idea or add to it...



I got a little engrossed in my work with it, and sort of lost track of my step by step process when it comes to most of the painting... However, I do have a few images to share that show how some of the things came to be.

  2. Thanks for the comments, the reason this image is called "Timeless Prisoner" is because the man is immortal and will live forever... now he has come to the forest and let everything grow around him as he remains unchanged...
