The Eye in the Sky

They looked up and saw it:  a piercing gaze.  a great expanse.  a size too imaginable to fathom.  what they saw was but a fraction.  there and then did they know that they could only be staring at the eye of God.

An unknown entity that appeared in the skies centuries ago, the local people worship it as a God of malevolence and chaos.  it goes by many names, but is more commonly known as the Blood God or Blood Eye, for only sacrifices made in blood are enough to quell its fury.

The idea came about from 'the eye in the sky', a term relating to God.  i also remember being in the library when i was in primary school and seeing a book by the same name, with the cover art being exactly that: an eye in the sky.  the moment i saw it i thought, "woah...what an awesome idea!".  the peacock feathers were accidental, but i'm glad i threw it in since it adds to the whole 'eye' concept.  that, and i love repetition :)

The line art took quite a while to finish.  i swear those squigly bits took forever.  the colours worked well with the lines this time around.  i stuck with yellows and reds, with subtle hints of violet and blue for the colours.  i realized i couldn't do a rush job after my first few attempts at colouring turned out mediocre.  an adjustment layer in Photoshop for contrast made the lines and colours blend rather well, saving me time to have to colour my lines.
