It was an intense three days!

A company doing production work for Elizabeth: The Golden Age, starring Cate Blanchett, asked a handful of artists to create a portrait of the actor as Elizabeth I. We had to make it look like stained glass, and it had to look as if it could be from the 15th century.

We had three days, because the film is about to launch.


This is my submission. It was, along with two others, the final works to be shown to the director of the film. Sadly, mine wasn't picked in the end.

However I am very happy to have had a chance to work for a hollywood project.

Hi. I'm adding this painting of mine to the great talent that is CGtalk.
I've been working on it on and off for five months in photoshop and painter. It's 4300x7000pixels at 300dpi and my only serious expose3 submission, as I've been low on inspiration and time lately.
as I said in the WIP forum earlier,
I am non religious nowadays, so I wasn't trying
to make an icon that christians specifically can
relate to. So it's not necessarily Jesus on the
cross. I was more trying to depict the horror of
people who are feeling punished by society due
to being different. So it's a painting about selfish me. I am a transsexual after all.
the right arm of the cross is longer to make the
figure's waist permanently twisted to the right,
in the hope that I'm adding to his torment.
I'm not touching it again, I hope you like it.
thank you for your patience.
kisses,
christina

P.S. I don't know what this piece of machinery is either, so your guess is as good as mine. Feel free to speculate
