For 5 months I worked on this piece off and on. This piece is literally the most complicated pointillism piece I have ever done. Its original size is 6x12 inches on Stonehenge Paper. And it is very much a mixed media piece even though I consider it to be a pointillism piece. Every part from the sky to the tree's to the figure (which my fiance modeled for) I stippled. But, to add more depth to the sky I used the toothbrush effect with an acrylic ink and added stars then washed in the glare on the windshield. Then to add more depth to the trees I added a transparent layer of gray using Copic Sketch Markers in gray. And, finally for both the 3 Comets in the back I used Acrylic Paint. So after many months of torture and experimentation to get each part right this piece got finished.
The idea behind "Oblivion" (what I call the piece for short, since it was been with me for half a year) is a man who climbed on the top of his car to watch the heavens above in their beautiful splendor "rain" destruction down upon the earth. This piece is my dedication to the Album 30 Seconds to Mars by 30 Seconds to Mars.
