The Eternal King

The Eternal King lives forever. Shut away in his tomb in quiet solitude-all his worldly possessions intact. He shall not be disturbed... less he blast yo FACE!

My mid-term for my advanced life-drawing class. Basically I just had to use poses from class and create an original character that abides by the assigned theme. The theme here happened to be a cyborg. And since I have been studying ancient Egyptian art in my art history class, the merging of the two themes was dangerously imminent!

Hmm... I must say I'm incredibly pleased with how this one turned out. But as always, I have my problems with it. Main situation here manifests from time-constraints. So as you can see, the same care I took in some places (mask, mantle, wrappings) was not carried over to other places (background, treasures, right foot). Ideally I would like to go back and finish up some of the details I had originally planned, but realistically, I probably won't really get back to this. I already have a whole bunch of half-finished works on the back burner.

Special thanks to the guy at Kinkos for printing the picture on landscape 3 times and making me late for class! #o_0;
