The landscape is originally a painting from Aleksey Savrasov - check out his amazing work: http://www.wikiart.org/en/aleksey-savrasov/lake-in-the-swiss-mountains-1866
The robot is from the movie The Iron Giant by Warner Bros.
The landscape work is in Public Domain, according to: http://www.wikiart.org/en/aleksey-savrasov/lake-in-the-swiss-mountains-1866
What does that mean? fairuse.stanford.edu/overview/&hellip
The whole piece had to be reinterpreted/re-painted as the reference image from the landscape was only available in a very low resolution, thats why it may differ a bit. Also painting the Iron giant in a way it looks abandoned and overgrown was a fun part.
Why did I do that?
Actually the intention behind this is to learn from the old masters, I don´ t want to limit myself to mastercopies - but something new inspired by the old AND the new.
Actually I´ m positively surprised about how well my recent Kaiju-piece was perceived, thanks so much!
For the Kaiju Fans: More Kaiju Art is in progress
This is part of a study-series, called " Ancient Kaiju project" (Iron Giant is probably not a Kaiju, but it certainly fits the scheme of big things)
I like popculture and I love traditional art, so this project came naturally to me.
