-057-
Huh. I spent two days deliberating on what to do for the first of the hundred things. See here: [link] if you have no idea what I'm talking about. Anyway... so... the first theme is "Introduction"... and possibly because I'd already seen GunnerRomantic's wonderful piece for that, I couldn't think of a damn thing to do. So after two days, I googled a random number generator, and made it give me a list from one to a hundred in any order. The first pick was number 57 - Sacrifice.
Now, this presented a whole truckload of new problems. Of course, the obvious thing to draw for "Sacrifice" would be a nubile young lady on a big stone altar, and plenty of blood. Boring, cliche, boring... I didn't want to go for that. Much research online later, several interesting ideas, and a lot of time scouting the Burning Man Festival website, and this is the result. You can read your own message or meaning into this one - it has one, but.... I'm... happy not giving it out! (;
This pretty much took me all of today, from about 8am til now. Although I made the paint-blob sketch yesterday, and painted most of the face then too. And took plenty of breaks today for smoking, eating, surfing, doing all that jazz. So I guesstimate, probably around... ooh. 10 hours work total.

An interesting picture, indeed. I too think that the traditional girl-on-an-altar is way, way, way too cliché, especially for this 100 TC thingy that everyone and their dog is doing (uhm, alright, I'm doing it as well, and even though I haven't done anything for #57 yet, it won't be a virgin on an altar, I swear). I really like the paper dolls, and the way the crows and hair deeply contrast with the general atmosphere and colors of the piece. The pillars, also, have something eerie and disturbing about them; they quite make me think of some lost, ancient place, perhaps even a place that isn't supposed to exist in our world? I don't know, but that's the feeling they give me.
