Artist's Comments

I was listening to this Bob Dylan song and started sketching some images I got from the lyrics. When I had four or five images(It's a long song), I came up with a story connecting them and . . . well, four days later I had this.

I'd tell you what I think is going down in this scene, but I'd rather find out what you guys see ...

It's another big one, so there's a detail shot here: [link]

Here's some of the lines I was playing around with:

I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it ...
I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin' ...
I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children ...
I met a young woman whose body was burning ...

And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

-- I generally like Dylan songs better when someone other than Bob is singing them. So thanks to Jason Mraz for the version that turned me on to this song's greatness.

The things you come up with from listening to music. This is a very well in depth well made piece. I really like the features of all the individual pieces here. :+fav:
:iconbleedingtheorchid:
So much going on in here it is incredible! I'm going to definitely have to watch you.
:iconemberleo:
Very well done. I'm interested in what program you used...it looks like it was created in a 3-D program to a degree, but yet it's marked under airbrush. I'm just curious if you entertwined the two or if that just so happens to be your style of painting.:)

I adore Jason Mraz. He's one of my favorites. Your interpretation is extremely incredible. There is so much going on here, but it is not nearly too busy. Great job with this.

This is quite awesome! It's very... I don't know... prophetic looking. It has great depth, with the boy holding the bloody branch up close, all of the characters in the shadows in the background, and the baby in the middle of it all.

I can't really fathom what kind of story was going on in your head when you were drawing this, but it looks like it was pretty complicated. It looks like some sort of ancient ritual, but the modern looking gun contradicts that. It adds a sense of mystery... i like it. :)

Wow! Stunning!
It's an amazing image
The detail of the whole scene is quite striking, and the color choices are very appealing, they work very well to create a mood of magic and mystique
Great job!
