Artwork: Mutant Gasmask, Winter Wasteland

. Posted by Sherrie Thai by Shaireproductions.com .

“Mutant Gasmask” was created for the Winter Wasteland Art Show at Syzygy Coop. The tentacles and blobby hand were subtle indications that this creature is not entirely human. This piece is a bit of cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic and futuristic themes rolled into one. I wanted to make this piece a bit more bleak and gritty, but not necessarily fully dystopian or pretty like the sleek synthwave/retrowave imagery. This mutant is caught in an urban wilderness at the start of a snowstorm. The artwork was originally created in pen/pencil, then scanned and digital coloring and backgrounds were placed during processing.
