Egon Schiele




Egon Schiele is one of my fave artists. So it's no wonder that he is a source of inspiration. For finding new conceptions on designing characters, for instance.

  1. Oh wow, this is really great! I do this type of thing a lot myself... where you take a character from a painting and do your own thing with it. It's great to see that you've been doing this as well! Makes me want to continue to explore the concept.

    I also wanted to thank you for commenting on my silhouettes a while back. I was floored to see a comment from you on my work!
