Green Abstract Acrylic Painting

/in , , , /by

Melon and I came up with the idea of a Green Abstract painting when we needed a painting to accent our lime green bathroom motif. Every room in the apartment we were living in at the time had a color theme. Our living room was blue and orange; out bedroom black and purple; and our bathroom was green, black, and white.

This was a collaboration between Melon and I. She started painting the base and bottom layers of the painting. Unhappy with her finished product I added some freehand brush strokes and minor details and what you see is the finished product.

Living Room Flare Acrylic Painting

/in , , , /by

When Melon and I were setting up our place we were in dire need of some living room flare. Our room lacked orange elements when we initially envisioned a blue and orange palette. To balance the color scheme I created this. After our amicable split I sold this piece to a private collector for $1000 and it now sits in a hillside mansion overlooking Pasadena.

I envisioned having the sun in our room in which all evil continually tries engulf all that is good. The white lines represent the hope that constantly fights back.

Arthas Acrylic Painting

/in , , , /by

This Arthas acrylic painting was inspired by the cinematic CGI of Arthas: The Lich King, from the World of Warcraft MMO, when he raises Sindragosa from her frozen tomb.

I began painting in a much larger scale than I’m used to. When I finished painting I was happy with the finished product, but I am no where near my ideal perfection. Based on the subject, I feel I could have made a much bigger impact painting this in oils instead of acrylics. This took approximately 25 hours and multiple sessions spread out between 6 weeks. Most of that time was because I didn’t know what direction to take it at first.

For every great hero, there’s a great villain. Arthas burned the city of Stratholme and killed innocent people to prevent the plague from spreading. Later took his seat on the Frozen Throne as the new Lich King to control the undead. Villains are often misunderstood and although many of his actions can be deemed dishonorable, you can’t fault him for doing what he believed to be right.

Blue Canyon Acrylic Painting

/in , , , /by

In Blue Canyon, I started incorporating the spatula technique in my painting style more then I typically do to get those harder, thicker, and sharper edges around the mountains. I also used a big paintbrush to get the haze feel of the background, sky, and lake. Blue has always been one of my favorite colors and I try to paint things that bring me happiness and a smile to my face. This might be one of the last time I signed my full name before taking up my alter-ego moniker, Tekrebel. It currently hangs at my parent’s house in one of the rooms.
