Really nice, Otto :) I hope this is taken up by other artists so we can see another amazing collab works like the first HUGE one that you did...
I really like the strange cracked egg head of the figure on the lower right, and how you kept the eyes in blue-gray-scale amidst the sepia tones of the piece. It really makes the eyes very alive!
The texturing and fine detailing are gorgeous as usual <3 And I love that you set the entire thing against that deep crimson background :) So very lovely!
Thanks - the whole canvas is much larger - this here is from the right side of it.
The actual canvas was black, but I isolated this piece and created a PING file with transparent background, so I actually can clone it on any color canvas - or on merchandise, such as T-Shirts (that is actually the plan for this one).
I pitched it to a few artists I had worked with before, but they are not into digital, so I have to find others that are.
A digital colab is much easier to do crossing borders. You don't need to send actual artwork back and forth (and through customs) but simply use https://wetransfer.com/ to send even gigantic files back and forth.
I hope it catches on with some other artists I am going to approach.
In fact, I had myself contributed to a Australian magazine one time, doing exactly that - the canvas was a meandering "exquisite corpse" that grew with every contributor in length. There are groups on DeviantArt like this https://www.deviantart.com/theexquisitecorpse and this https://www.deviantart.com/theexquisitecorpse
