The Agera
Media: Acrylic paint on canvas
Artistic Vision/Idea
The Dragon Eye idea came from a video game, and something about it just appealed to me. I've been drawing it ever since and I always keep coming up with different ways to draw it. I chose black white and red for the main colors because they are colors that just compliment each other very well. The green was just the perfect color to make the actual eye pop out of the painting.
Techniques
To make the blood drip and make the color as real as it is, I used water to make it thin my not to thin, just enough o make it be able to drip down the canvas. I held it up and it rolled down the painting so beautifully and allowed me to created the perfect blood.
The Connection to Basquiat
I was looking at Basquiat's painting "Year of the Boar" which has the same colors as you see here except for the green. Basquiat inspired me because he has such a unique art style and I tried to use the same style when I was painting the blood as I mix the red with water and made it drip! The eye is just what I incorporated to make in interesting.
