The Story
In East Peoria, a legendary humanoid creature has intrigued locals for decades. First sighted in the 1970s on Cole Hollow Road, this mysterious beast has been described as a towering figure, covered in dark fur with glowing eyes that pierce through the night. Whether a figment of imagination or an undiscovered cryptid, this monster remains a mystery. Here he is enjoying a stroll in a cornfield with the Northern Lights, even in Illinois!
Technique
Painting with acrylics comes with its own set of challenges. In this piece, there was a need for extensive black areas. I began by using black acrylic markers for the base and then switched to a brush for the details. While this method accelerated the process, it resulted in a two-tone effect due to variations in the black shades. As a result, some touch-ups were needed towards the end, potentially prolonging the overall time spent on it.
The sky effect was an exciting experience for me. My inspiration stemmed from the possibility of catching a glimpse of the Northern Lights visible across North America this year. Regrettably, I was not among the fortunate few who witnessed them.
