Rambling and film thoughts- may be a tad spoilery.
Whilst celebrating my birthday and happy lounging around our hotel room, my good friend suggested we watched a little wrestling. It has been a good seven years or so since i last saw any and even then it was only a few matches. It's drifted in and out of my life for a long time, at some points being so popular it was almost impossible to avoid.
We watched and then suddenly KANE. He had passed me by, but my friend has loved/been terrified of him in equal measures for a very long time. It's been amazing catching up on his story lines, matches, the DRAMA is delightful.
Then we find out he's been in a horror film- yay! We find it- sit and watch 'See No Evil'...and can't help being a little disappointed with a lot of aspects. Not with him, i might add. He was really very good- silent, menacing and fascinating to watch. The sets were lovely- a rotting old luxury hotel full of corridors and faded glory. The interactions between Jacob and Kira are by far the best part for me- his reverence to her tattoos, the contrast between his treatment of others and her. So much more to say, but i plan to do a picture dedicated to them, so i can talk more on that there
This is a warm up- it's heavily referenced from a photo taken at the launch of the film.Part digital, with the texture created on a printed out copy of the image and worked into with markers, watercolour and gouache. There’s been detail lost, like lots of little eyes down the right side, but apart from that I’m quite pleased. He has a really interesting face and I'd love to draw something Kane inspired and demontastic in mirror of this.
