Description

"OMEN SORORUM" (2 of 2, Diptych, 2024) Six months hence, the virgin pair did swell, With darkened seeds from hell's abyssal well, A devil's curse, in wombs immaculate kept, Two Omens rise where angel hosts have wept, The sisters' plight, a tale of shadows frail, Yet, fear not—'tis written, The Faithful shall prevail. // Inspired by "Immaculate Conception", the 1/1 piece I collected from the "The Art of Self Destruction" collection-- as a DIRECT derivative piece, conceptually taking place 6 months (6 days, 6 hours...) later. //Process: - Created character references for each of the two women in the original piece, by cropping out the faces and torsos, and editing the backgrounds to create clean reference file versions of each. - Used sections of the original piece as style reference mocks, and edited sections together for style references. - I wanted to represent these two in a 'formal portrait' style composition, so that would be a pair and be presented as a diptych, while also keeping to and elevating from the original style. This required not only compositions that balanced each other, but also complimented each other and had their own unique flavor, all while being as identical to the original women as possible. - After locking in my final two compositions, I then post edited significant areas and details, (even as far as adding freckles where they belonged in order to match the women as closely as possible to the original piece). Including multiple version compositing, in-painting with gen-fill, and more. - Upscaled using Magnific, and added more details, then did post-color corrections and etc, for the finals. // Loved the original collection and happy to be a part of this open call, in the very least to pay homage to the insanity that the collection represents.
