EARLY ACCESS: the ruins of old // sfw
🕑 Added 2018-03-04 05:11:15 +0000 UTCi think one of my art goals for 2018 is to practice doing more backgrounds. i plan to do a series of paintings/studies referenced off of some of the literally thousands of photos i've taken in greece and italy, depicting everything from lush landscapes and the sea to street views and ancient ruins.
many of them will probably feature this particular pairing - isaac and samuel. the tl;dr is that isaac is a sad, repressed gay priest who gets courted by the devil, and once they've laid isaac's home town to ruin, samuel takes isaac to see the world.
the temple they're visiting here is temple D in the valley of the temples in agrigento (ancient akragas), sicily, conventionally called the temple of hera/juno. for context i'm a master's student in ancient history and classical archaeology, so ... shit like this is my jam.
(also i'm gonna soon upload the process for this painting, available for $3+ patrons!)
