“The brain of my father, the heart of my mother.”
This is originally work by Marija Tiurina. As she describes the work on her own site:
An illustration I did for INDIE magazine’s anniversary issue. The theme was “The Ten Commandments” and the one I’ve picked was #4 – “Honour thy father and thy mother”. I took the subject of inheritance literally, which added… uhm.. some gore to the meaning. Did a couple of sketches, but the mag editors (godbless) decided that they are okay with going “as dark as possible”, which totally worked for me.
I used watercolour and ink for the actual piece, which was then scanned and slightly touched digitally before exporting for print.
That was good fun.
