I’ve been thinking about the landscapes in my comics and paintings a lot, about how I really need to push their otherworldliness to the next plane. Mati Klarwein’s landscapes, which I saw on Brenna Murphy’s tumblr, have definitely given me some forms that I can riff on.
I think this first one is my favorite. There’s just something really appealing to me about terraced landscapes (which this guy paints a lot of).
This next one is less striking because, as Glade said, it’s all details and no central image, but man I could get lost in those details:
Cropped because of watermark. Original enclosure.
This last one has a ton of stuff going on. I really like how some prominent features (glowing golden figure, cube) are hidden or obscured by all the lush vegetation. Also, what about that sky?
