Spiral (needs a better title)


Spiral
Prismacolor Pencil
35 x 22

It's done! I started this in April, with a brief hiatus to work on The Collector. This is the biggest and most complicated piece of this type that I've attempted. I figured I would be able to work on this off and on with other pieces in the meantime. But it ended up being the only thing I could work on, and it wouldn't let me put it away! So here it is. :)
The idea for it came from a dream where the figures were moving and swirling into a whirlpool. The working title that came to me for it was 'Into the Abyss'. But it ended up not being very abysmal and not as much like the dream. But I still love it. Any ideas for another title? let me have it. :)
For the record there are 955 figures in this one. If I had known the number was going to be that high I would have added 45 more!
