This is a cover for a German Metal band called Xiron. They wanted me to do a painting based on the story "The Picture of Dorian Gray" written by Oscar Wilde in the 19th century. They left me nearly total freedom (I just had to hit the topic) and only added the idea of that foggy ghost/demon faces in the dark areas.
Acrylics on cardboard, 37 cm x 38 cm (maybe 20 to 25 hours of painting)
Awesome - it took me a bit to see the creepy faces in the ceiling there. Kind of took me by surprise!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
