Echoes & Specters

This is a piece i'm pretty excited about. There's a little bit of work left, but the complexity of the image is very interesting to me.

Much like the previous profile portrait (Dreaming the Heat of the fields) this piece started as something totally different and slowly built up to the level it's currently at. Along with that, the face did not appear until very late in the process, lending to the indistinct nature of the object. the piece is very hectic (like most of my stuff recently) but the face seems serene...the title "echoes & specters" refers to the jumbled background portraying the overlapping and intertwined ideas, thoughts and planes that may be present at any given time. The title refers to the idea of multiple planes of existence, all coming together at a certain point, all lending to the reality of the moment depicted.
