Abomination

This was a sketch a did in my sketch book about a year back.  I started reading about conspiracies and the world ending and became obsessed with the theories.  I drew this sketch of the world ending in an urban graffiti-esque manner.  First I sketched up the mushroom cloud as a focal point, and then the cityscape in the back ground, and finally the gas mask all in graphite.  Then i took a fine tip sharpie and filled in the mask and outlined the buildings and gave that dripping effect as if everything were melting.  I kept a simple, dark color scheme of black, gray, and red.  I filled in the cloud with scribbles to make it look messy and chaotic, along with the scribbles coming out of the base.  I added a reflection of the scene in the gas mask's eye.  After I made this sketch, I replicated it onto a 4"x2" piece of plywood.  The plywood piece was the background for my art display my senior year in high school.
