The storyteller's cave

Description

October 2010

Once upon a time there was a story. A story with great importance, a story of fate, of hope and salvation as well as tragedy and horrible death. The story was told and told again until all the mouths of the world were bone dry. One day, through a messy accident involving a big beetle and an incautious foot, paint made an entry to the world. Now the story didn’t need voices alone, it could use beetles as well, so it could keep being told and told again. Everyone knew the story shouldn’t die. It needed to live. Forever. The paint adorned many caves telling the story for many passersby, giving them hope and fear for many more ages. Slowly beetles became ink and pictures became words but the story was still told and told again, a far and distant memory of what was to come.

If there is the slightest excuse for me to draw rocks I will take it. ;)

And finally it’s done! I was nearly losing patience with this one. I always do that when I know the end is just around the corner. Huge drawing again – A3. Made with mechanical pencil 0.5 mm, 0.7 mm and 3B graphite pencil. Additional small touch-ups in PS (‘cause scanned drawings never look the same as the original).

It has been feautered here: traditional-artists.deviantart… , here: news.deviantart.com/article/13… and here: <da:thumb id="488528836">
