I made a series with this image using the 1up mushroom from the Super Mario Bros video game as an icon for resurrection. I began with a few studies actually based off a 3D rendering. Then came the charcoal drawings and finally the digital painting. The composited image is actually part of the process. My friends were kind enough to come over and help me setup this scene for reference images. There are a few more images that show the model’s face but he’s a bit bashful and doesn’t want the whole interwebs to see his face and torso in their full glory. Le sigh. It is all our loss BUT digital prints are available upon request.
