Crystal Abyss

Color-penciled “Crystal Abyss” blends mostly blues, pinks, and purples to create a drawing full of fantasy and religious symbolism. An ethereal cosmic realm of uncertainty and imagination, this image portrays a strange and somewhat eerie place no human has ever seen. The scaly, fire-breathing monster – which symbolizes evil – is blinded by the luminous glow of the crystalline ice-formation thus making escape to eternal freedom through a distant void nearly impossible. The only other thing preventing escape is the swirling power of the vortex which is trying to pull the beast further into the depths of the netherworld. Neither the brilliance of the crystalline ice-formation nor the power of the vortex, however, is enough to hold him back.
