Description

The Towers. The Order. The Prophets. Pahana's Sorrow of East Rapsiris call them the Kachinas.

The Towers wrote the entire history and future of the universe. They control everything as far as occultists in Drocalius know.

Here Atheris is suspended before the thing she calls her nemesis, these Towers; the order of prophets who allegedly foretold everything that has ever come to pass between the sister planets. The only thing they could never clearly foretell was Atheris's purpose in their plans. Her life was a complete deviation from everything they've ever prophesied, as they stated in their frustration: "There is nothing to be divined about the Mashinovna."
The Towers found Atheris as a tiny scratch in their written plan. Atheris could do whatever she wanted to. She could even slightly alter the events the Towers had prophesied in the beginning. Taunting and tormenting Atheris back into their ordered plans was easier to do than to erase the unknown anomaly, for they could possibly risk their own destruction....

They're not normal beings, obviously. They are something between towers and intangible entities. After all the ages, their heads have changed shape drastically.

The Inspiration Behind...

I had this song running while I drew this... GO LISTEN TO IIIIIIT!!! :shakefist:

Epic surreal work is epically surreal. This style is a nod to Salvador Dali and other surrealists from the past century. Definitely a nod to Hieronymus Bosch of the old world.

On another note, my uncle's name is Salvador.

I had a dream of something like this a long time ago, the towers. They were talking. I didn't like them at all. So the towers have made their way into my story.

The Art Itself...

This was done entirely in the GIMP, with paintbrush and airbrush tools. No pencils or scanners. I carefully drew everything with a goddamn wireless mouse. :x

This was supposed to be a speed-painting of sorts, but I got technical with measuring the tower buildings and windows. I wasn't going to have ANY colour on Atheris OR the towers to begin with. But I wasn't satisfied with how FLAT that looked, so I added a red under-highlight to kinda heat up the scene.

Yes, Atheris is completely naked. So what? :smoking: Ah, this is actually the first time I've ever drawn her naked. The red light and the shadows kinda hide that fact.

But I realize now that her ass has the brightest highlight, and attention is going to drawn to just that. :ohmygod:

Other than that, I am very satisfied with this piece. It's not the best of my works, but it lets me demonstrate to myself that I CAN draw with a mouse. :ninja:

The Artist Says...

:icondizzyplz: I'm getting dizzy from no sleep. I should really get some sleep, but I wanted to get this out of my head before I take up a job, soon. :dead:

Yes, I drew another picture of Atheris, but she happens to be my muse. That, and she's just easy for me to draw since I've drawn her so many times. :roll:

It is around 6:30 AM at the moment.
