Etching from the imaginationby *pikajane

Traditional Art / Other

I started etch a sketching a few days ago and this is what happened. I've always been interested in fantasy-oriented environments, and decided to invent a quasi-aquatic prehistoric kind of scenery. I estimate this took about 3 hours.

No references were used, and no sketching or conceptualizing was done beforehand. I started with one thing and kept building upon it until I felt it was complete.

EDIT (7-28-12): I'm so thankful for being awarded a daily deviation for this piece. It was a labor of love, and my favorite thing I've done all summer.

Etching from the imagination by *pikajane proves that even childhood toys can be viable artistic instruments. ( Suggested by ~zeldagalz and Featured by $Moonbeam13 )
