Beautiful Eye of Deathby *BabyDollB

Traditional Art / Paintings / Abstract

UPDATE: WOW! I'm so excited at the response to this piece!! Thank you to each and every one of you who has viewed, favorited, watched and commented! I will try my best to reply to everyone. There will definitely be more to come! Wanted to come up with some type of design for business cards for myself as a Tattoo Artist and came up with this. Inspired by M.C. Escher's Eye of Death mixed with my own aesthetic. Referenced my own eye.

Done with Staeder Mars Lumograph graphite pencils, Hb to 8b and Dr. Ph Martins watercolors on bristol board.

I've seen the eye thing done at least 100 times, but, this one caught my eye.

Pun intended. I really enjoyed the details put into this, and the skull that you placed in the iris. It is simply amazing work. You really have a talent, and can't wait to see more. There is a lot, visually, to look at in this piece.

The colors catch your attention really fast, and the details of the actual eye, is simply no less that breathe taking. It's almost wierd how your focus gets drawn to the colors first, I would assume they are tears, then you get drawn to the actual eye next where there is a skull. It's wonderful.

What do you think?

This is really beautiful. The use of vibrant colors mixed with the warm grey tones of the pencil makes this really stand out. You've really mastered the use of pencils to make dark/light contrast and the overall shape of the eye looks really good.

The iris seems a bit unregular and slightly blurry at the lower part, but except for that I got nothing bad to say. I don't think much to say about the composition, it's rather clean and straight forward and it works rather well for this.

I would love to see this concept taken up from the paper and put into some kind of costume. Maybe I'll use this piece as an inspiration for this years halloween costume
