“Defiance”
This was in response to an AI image inspired by the series “Welcome to Derry”
Here’s my take that took just over an hour. I wanted to make him look more ethereal than the original and play around with some light, I decided not to include Pennywise as I went on, I felt he’d draw focus away and contemplated adding a shadowy presence but decided I wanted this to be an image of light and good prevailing no matter what the obstacle.
What I love about working on something that’s quite spiritual is that it was an hour of reflecting on those I’ve lost over the years, nothing sad as it’s such a strong, powerful and positive image. I loved every second of working on it, playing around and experimenting with light brushes and different ideas. I thought up at least 6 more picture ideas too and came away feeling like my soul was glowing.
Thats what I love about creating art, and that’s why I love looking at other artists work because I know they have those similar feelings 💛
