Fate Embraced

Acrylic on canvas, 8" x 10", 2009
This is a painting I did for the 1Pixel Art project at work (which is our own version of Into the Pixel for which artists create works inspired by video games). It was exhibited at The Art Center of the Capital Region during the Hudson Quadricentennial Celebration.

This particular piece was inspired by the game Ben 10 - Alien Force DS which we created at 1st Playable Productions. It depicts Gwen, Ben's cousin, who has alien powers because she is part alien. In one episode she is confronted by her grandmother, who is full alien, who asks her to renounce her humanity to reach her full potential of power. In the episode she decides to keep her humanity. In this piece Gwen has renounced her humanity and sits on the evil alien eye - full of immense power but totally alone.

  1. Consider yourself followed. =) Nice work, I'm so amazed by your awesomeness at acrylic. I still can't seem to get acrylic down. I'm wondering if I should just stick with watercolor and oils.
