I've been working on this piece for a show entitled "Beginnings." Here, Adam and Eve are poised on the brink of causing death to enter the world by disobeying the only command that God gave them - not to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
I love it Kristi. It's very dramatically poised yet beautiful at the same time. The moment right before all earthly life was forever changed....thank goodness we have the hope of a life to come!
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome illustration. I have never seen this scene done quite like it. You really expressed the action there. Great job.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, i love all the little hidden details like the skull in the tree shadow and the serpent. Love it!!
ReplyDeleteLovely and lush. I love that the animals are all watching, and the way the red of the apple stands out amidst the more muted colors.
ReplyDeleteWow! great piece!
ReplyDeleteOMG!!!!! how beautiful is this!!! All I can say is WOW!!!! It's just awesome. I'm going to shut up now and just go back and look at it some more. OH why, oh why didn't they listen!!!! he he he he!

ReplyDeleteWonderful illo and story telling. It's all there. The tree's bowing/enticing gesture to the hopeful ending of the lion & lamb. Very nice work.
ReplyDeleteyikes! that tree just SINGS doom! wonnderful piece, kristi! :))

ReplyDeleteThis is very mystical, Kristi. And Adam looks really very much like he is being led by a totally confident Eve. The animals have a look of worried anticipation. A beautifully created scene.

ReplyDeleteFabulous. I love the warm colours.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your encouraging comments!
ReplyDeletepeg nocciolino: I'm delighted that you're blown away by the noodles on the Cora cover. Yep, I do everything from sketch to paint digitally. For the noodles I kept building up layer upon layer of noodles leaving each noodle slightly transparent. Then for the finishing touch, I thinly outlined around the top noodles with a darker paint color.
This is a beautiful illustration. It has a wonderful glow to it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my pics! I have to give credit to my husband, though, he took the majority of pictures on the trip. He has a very good eye!
Beautiful! The atmosphere is so lovely and inviting...
ReplyDeleteThis is just wonderful! You are so talented. The use of light is beautiful.
