Sta.sh
This piece was intended as an homage to the character Thorin Oakenshield from The Hobbit, and the references create exactly that. To me, the different references each explain a different part of this character and his role in the story. The central image presents him as a warrior, clad in chain-mail and (judging by his eyes) set for battle. The piece on the right shows him as a member of the fellowship, protecting the Ring. The portrait on the left, however, shows are gentler and calmer image of the warrior. Between the three references, the character is comprehensively portrayed and described.
TECHNIQUE
Once again the artist has produced a masterpiece. The hair and furs in the two portraits are executed to the utmost detail, and each of the 15 forms on the right are outlined properly. Additionally, the references are blended together well. My one critique on technique is that the piece seems off-balance to me. Putting the full-head portrait on the left, while blending nicely into the mountainside of the right image, throws the weight of the piece heavily to the top-left corner. I can't think of a way that it could be placed in the center and work with the other two references, but this would be an improvement if it could be done.
IMPACT
This piece is a beautiful rendition of the character from The Hobbit. The three images together paint a varied and interesting portrait of Thorin. I look forward to seeing the next work from Franco Clun.
Quando ho visto questo tuo lavoro ho seriamente pensato fosse una foto scannerizzata.
Data la mia scarsa capacità con il disegno, probabilmente l'impatto è ancora maggiore.
Io amo seriamente questo lavoro.
Sei riuscito a cogliere in pieno lo sguardo di Thorin, il suo orgoglio, il suo cipiglio severo ma al contempo gentile. Ogni cosa è studiata con minuzia, mi piace in particolarmente vedere la compagnia avviarsi, che si gira a guardarci come a renderci partecipe di quanto sta avvenendo, come se noi fossimo in viaggio con loro. Il bianco e nero poi da una sensazione quasi ultraterrena, fantastica, il cui lo spirito e il mondo di Tolkien prende vita.
Da fan, posso solo complimentarmi per questo spettacolo visivo.
Da artista (anche se non mi reputo tale) l'uso del chiaro/scuro mi affascina tantissimo, e quella luna lì, che si erge e illumina i nostri protagonisti, è un tocco di classe.
Bravo, bravissimo!
