There must be meaning in my roar.

“Lumina” - 36x42” (91x106cm) mixed media painting on canvas, 19x13” (48x33cm) print.

Created as a pair, with Thorn, for GuardianCon 2019. Both were awarded as prizes while fundraising for St. Jude at the event. This one came together really quickly, and I was very happy with how the texture and the white color of the weapon came through- that particular part was created with only a little bit of white ink, water, and grey wash applied over clear gesso. Overall, it probably only took about 6-8 hours to finish the original.

Of all the Destiny weapons and armor I’ve painted so far, Lumina and Thorn were practically the easiest to merge with my own painting style. Their natural shapes and gnarly textures go perfectly with the gritty, drippy style that I tend to work in.

Lumina is number 15 in the series, finished in late spring 2019.
