This is another piece from class. Its meant to be a title page for Oedipus Rex. Originally this was meant to be a book cover but when I was painting the piece I realized that the original background that I intended to give the piece took away from the silhouette of the sphinx resting on the cliff face. So rather than do a rocky cliff face for a background I left the background open except for a few mountains in the distance. This change really helped the piece compositionaly but in doing so it looked less like a cover and more like an interior illustration.
Also included in this post are my reference pictures of the moquettes I made for this image.
