There are so many things I would like to write about this illustration, but many of them are just abstract thoughts and emotions... I made this in a very dark time of my short life... Just after a love delusion, I remember having this deep pain in my arm that didn´t allow me to paint properly. The strange thing this was a commission for Minus Zero Production, they asked me to draw a love between two androids, somehow I manage to portrait the despair and pain of the moment. The digital painting was not very polish because the tremendous pain in my arm. I cherish this illustration as a reminder that no one dies of love.
Do you like vampires?
If your answer is "yes" you can´t miss this new books series about one of the beloved and feared creatures of the nigh: the vampires... The name of the complete saga is "Criaturas de la media Noche" written by my talented friend Luis Centeno. He give me the great task of illustrate the cover of the first episode "11:56 minutos a la media noche". We spent many nights looking for the perfect look for this digital painting, it shows a scene that you can read later in the book. He want to portrait intrigue, mistery and elegance.
The most difficult part of the illustration, was the color scheme and the lighting of the atmosphere, very neutral and dark. Also the stone texture of the angel statue was a challenge. Unfortunately something happen in the press and the colors were awfully printed :(.
