Key to Chaos

In this piece I tried to externalize what the evil weasel is thinking with the abstraction. There’s some interesting colour associations between the key, the gems, the extending tentacles, and the glow around the gem he’s wearing. The message: he’s got a taste of power, and he wants more.

Finished at last! This piece took a little over 20 hours across 3 weeks. I’m rather happy with the final result, though I intend for my next piece to be much simpler.

My goal with this piece was to utilize abstraction in the background in a more-intentional way; I believe I have accomplished that here; though I don’t feel I achieved quite what I’m aiming for, but I’m moving in the right direction.

I really enjoyed studying the weapons and how they connect to the baldric (shoulder belt).
