The Enchantment of La Siguanaba Photoshop November 2007
Share This
This is a personal piece exploring one of the myths from Guatemalan culture. This is the tale of La Siguanaba, a beautiful woman cursed with the head of a beast. She enchants drunks and weak men with her beauty, ultimately leading them to pay for her curse with they're souls. Pretty sad, but its all good! This piece is mostly a Photoshop piece, with the majority of the sketches all the way through the final done with a basic flat brush. I used a bit of painter to create some of the gunk and texture, but again, it was all Photoshop. There is a definite inspiration from Andrew Jones’s graphical style and it is mostly present in my earlier sketches for this piece, showing a lot of chaos and swirly creations – eventually it got a bit controlled and more focused.
