The title is “Evolution Of An Idea” (orig. “Evolution Einer Idee”). I tried to keep it muddy and creepy while put this against shiny warm light. Beyond that the moony arrogance of the character is very important for the function, I guess …

I decided to use less details not to freeze the dynamic of the scene and to save the moody character of the atmosphere.

I tried to figure out a new direction of what a mage, wizard or alchemist can look like a step away from Tolkien and the usual high fantasy stuff.

I painted it during my holiday time. – Well three of my friends already told me: “This is a typical Helge-C.-Balzer” hihi … The title is “The Feather” (original: Die Feder) … please enjoy!

And I am happily looking forward to the new year 2012 with new chances and adventures! Have a good time, merry Christmas and a happy new year!
