Description
This is probably blasphemy.For this assignment, we had to pick a painting that we liked and use the composition to create an entirely new painting. I chose this piece by Peter Paul Rubens: [link]
Gouache

A blasphemy who's smile is imagination itself and characters such as He. This image looks very much like it was painted many centuries ago and blends together classic and modern themes. Do you plan to make this a print? I would love to purchase a copy!

Ok, I put up the prints that I could with the scan I currently have. If you were hoping for something else/something bigger, let me know and I'll get another scan next time I'm at my parents' house (they have the original).

I currently don't have a high enough quality scan of the piece but if I get one I'll probably put up a print.

Nice idea for a project.
They'll never get that dragon very far with just the two of them though!

XD Well it's definately different!
So how do you like using gouache? Looks like you guys are allowed to have a lot more fun with it than we are.

I hated it at first, but I think I've got the hang of it now and I'm enjoying it.

Yeah, it definately takes some getting used to. It's not so bad once you figure it out though. It'd definately a beast all it's own.

Very clever. It'd be nice if you uploaded a comparison between the two. But yeah. I like your colour choices in this too, the autumn tones.

Hahah, this is amazing. Love how you managed to make the dragon fit in so well.
The tree really makes me envious of your coloring skills. =]

Cool! I had fun comparing the two images and seeing where you got the composition idea from, very interesting assignment! It came out lovely in my opinion.

Nice opposition in comarison to the original... From elevating to dragging down.
And the guy under the claw is a nice touch. XD

Blasphemy..lol lol..nicely done though. Reminds me of Eragon. Heck with all the publicity right now to promote the dang movie..everything WITH a dragon would remind me of Eragon.
But excellent job nonetheless.

I really don't see anything blasphemous about this pic. I love the composition and how you used the shapes in Rubens picture to create your own. Very original. I mean, unless you making a message I'm not seeing, I don't see anything wrong with this pic.

Yeah, I was mostly joking about the blasphemy thing. I'm not Christian anyway.

Probley should have named it something else, but I think you did a fine job on the work.
This coming from a pastor's kid, so other then the name I think your fine. 
Merry Christmas

Is the name blasphemous?

Also, I like your dragon design. A lot.

Yes. Dragons are traditionally associated with Satan. Haha.

Not totally sure, but to be safe maybe name it similar to the original painting or give your own. I'll see with my dad and if I get an anwser I'll update ya.

I'm sure religious artwork falls under graven images anyway. Sure it can me reationalise away just like anything else, but this makes me chuckle.
