I’ve pretty much grown up doing some form of art, whether it be sketching something in my sketch pad, painting on a canvas or doing comissions for portraits. This first piece is a marble woman, which actually has a story behind it.
The idea of the marble woman came from one of the humanoid species featured in my SFF novel, The Sun Below the Water-sky. This novel is set in a fantasy world called Zerus, a planet so beautiful that an advanced humanoid race, called valcore, colonised it. Valcore come from Nademsia, another planet in the Cyclone galaxy. Nademsia is home to two types of humanoids, valcore as previously mentioned and cyfoids. The marble woman featured in the picture, is a visual representation of what a cyfoid looks like. They have marble skin and can shape shift and are, despite the connotations attached to them in the story, completely benevolent beings.
To create this image I used: A3 cartridge paper and prisma colours to get that marble effect.
This image took me about a week to complete as each marble took some time to get perfect. Stay tuned for more out of this world art and more visual representations of, beneishans, the inhabitants of planet Zerus.
