Description

"Carried Away"

A large black gorilla carries a dark haired woman wearing an unusually long white nightgown on his back. They cross a grassy field with dense jungle in the background. The woman gently rests one hand among the hair on the ape's head. The expression on her face is not one of fear. Rather, she appears to be enjoying the ride.

I'm not really sure where I got the idea for this artwork. Perhaps it was buried somewhere in my subconscious after watching too many movies like "King Kong" and "Mighty Joe Young" as a kid. Anyway, I really started it as a study on cloth using the nightgown. I added the ape mostly as something to elevate the woman off the ground so that the end of her garment was able to blow in the breeze.

A little about how I create my art: I created this using digital techniques similar to what movie studios use to create their special effects. I use powerful software to create and arrange virtual models in a 3D scene. The computer then calculates how light would interact with these objects and creates a digital snapshot. Using an image editor, I work on that image using more traditional art techniques to give it more of a look of a painting.
