Commission for Type: Semi-realistic with simple bg ... or not so simple, because I added more details as it is not the first commission she ordered from me
This commission will be a great opportunity for me to draw long known characters created by *alcinda These two are Choleric and Flo, who has really twisted relationship.
Because even though they have more good/neutral moments than bad, the darker side of their relationship is always lurking. When left alone to his thoughts, Choleric becomes susceptible to Laertes and Theron (his voices), and it often involves Choleric turning on Flo.
I want Choleric to look very angry and powerful. I want him to look like he's about to do very bad things
- how Alcinda explained this to me.
I think it gives a really nice description what is happening in this scene.
Oh and originally Choleric does not have glowing red eyes. It is just a detail to add a tad more drama
As an idea for Flo I have used a painting by George Stubbs - Horse frightened by a lion I think it fits there perfectly! When Alcinda described me her imagined pose for Flo, she mentioned 'tail between hind legs, like scared dog" and it reminded me about that painting See the original painting by Stubbs here: [link] To gain realistic look of angry Choleric I used a photo of a aggressive wild mustang [link] Moreover I used a photo of fighting horses for Choleric face, sorry, I don't have the link
