Description

Details & comparison here: -> [link] <-


Mixed media since this is a photo of a wood engraving heavily photomanipulated, airbrushed & textured.


Scene from John Milton's Paradise Lost.

Original is an engraving from 1870, by Gustave Doré, more info of him & his works here: [link]


I´ve always been a huge fan of engraving works by Doré and others, and have worked with a few pieces like this before on some cd-cover work. Unfortunately I don´t have permission to upload the earlier ones to DA, but this one isn´t used on anything yet so I can show it. Big thanks for checking out. :peace:


Stock-photo of the engraving is bought from iStockphoto.com, and you can see small parts of it in the detail-image linked above if you´re curious on seeing what part came from Doré and what´s my own touch. Textures used are my own.

You trully have made justice to Gustave Doré's work on the Bible (the Popular Bible, that is, since these engravings are first found here). I always remember his vision of the fallen Satan - such a beautiful angel, looking above in despair. Your own work is, as always, superb.
