Description
Done for ImagineFX Hand Painting workshop. You can find it in Issue 16 (I also made the cover for that one)
My goal was to create a bold mood without adding too much unnecessary detail.
Painted in Photoshop with some help from Painter. Refs for the pendant and marble (you can see it as a custom brush used for the face marks); light and anatomy studies for the character.
Linen done with a custom made brush consisting of a few lines.

Okay, I dont Normally comment, but there is something I feel obligated to mention.
Seers are Awesome, and I happen to find this aesthetically pleasing. Now, as soon as I can, I will be getting this.
Oh, and the reason I felt forced to comment is that
seers are in fact the primary focs of all my mythological studies. Few people actually get my attention and approval when they refer or artistically create a Seer.
With that being said, there where also male seers, I would love to see this type of elegance capture the male seers power and allure as well...
Okay, I am done Geeking out about the awesomeness of this seer image
