The Oncoming Storm

--

I love painting Kyu and the ocean. They are very closely linked in my current story WIP, so it feels natural.

Kyu is an amnesiac, who washed ashore close to a port city. In order to find her place in the world and her roots, she travels a lot. But there is always a part of her that is especially drawn to the ocean, as she knows the mystery of her identity lies beyond it.

In this particular piece, there's also a storm approaching from the ocean. I wanted a bit more tension and foreboding in this painting.

I talk about this a lot more in my latest youtube video, in which I show my entire painting process and talk about what thoughts went into this piece at different stages of creating it: youtu.be/oaiPYxP7_vU

While I'm stumbling along writing the beginning of her story, I indulge in drawing later parts of it.

Including Kyu fighting a zombie dragon.

The premise of the story is, that creatures from another dimension entered "ours" and they tend to possess corpses and in rare cases the living. Kyu is one of the few who know how to drive these extra-dimensional beings out again.

And boy I don't want to fail delivering on that premise!
