\"africa2011-11-08\"Color pencils and ink, 10×15 cm. Inspired by Afrikan t\u00e4hti<\/em> (Star of Africa) board game, that is legendary in Finland. I have the original game by Kuvataide<\/strong> from 1950s in my collection which I inherited from my dear grand mother \u2013<\/span> she was an oil painter. We used to play the game a lot and I have fond memories of it. I also have the extremely rare Commodore 64<\/strong> game adaptation<\/a> (1986) made by Amersoft<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This art is from the Apokryfia <\/em>sketch book #10 Kappa the Color<\/em> where all the illustrations are in color, instead of mostly black and white of the other volumes.<\/p>\n

By the way, Madagascar has traveled all the way to the exact opposite side of the “pool continent” here for some reason.<\/p>\n

Fountain of Africa<\/em> is from December 8th 2011 and it was a follow-up and based on the proximate black and white ink sketch from November 8th 2011. Mountains and some kind of a huge tree-sized plant make the surrounding setting in both and I picked the woman-motif and giraffe for the color work too,<\/p>\n

The particular November-sketch on the other hand originates from my morphing graphic novel Apokryfia: Zeta\u00a0(April 2011)<\/em> \u2014<\/span> see the post Venus and the Dream Machine<\/em><\/a>. There is a section happening in Africa with skeletons in the middle of the story where all this started from.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
