This is my first image painted with a concept completely from my imagination...no references of any kind used...done in around 30 minutes.
Done for the cgtalk daily sketch forum..the theme was Red Sky.... I wanted to portray an evil tribal priest doing a spell thats effecting everything around him...the sky is turning red.....and the spell is even coming back to effect him as well which is denoted by the swirl coming towards him....added a vague devil like formation at the junction between the fire and the sky..... and the vague hand like form coming back to grasp him as well...
