A black and white illustration depicting a surreal architectural scene. In the center of the image stands a raised platform, structured like a stage or plinth, with vertical poles or beams extending upwards into the sky. These beams pierce through various horizontal bands and semi-transparent clouds, giving the impression of great height. A tall, dark monolithic shape rises in the middle of the platform, surrounded by these beams. To the right of the monolith stands a small, silhouetted child-like figure, while to the left, closer to the foreground, appears a cloaked figure holding a long staff. The cloaked figure has a partially visible face and stands on the lower level of the platform. The background is filled with a dramatic sky composed of layered clouds and abstract horizontal streaks, evoking a sense of both depth and atmosphere. The overall composition is symmetrical and monumental, with high contrast and textured surfaces contributing to the dreamlike, solemn tone of the image.

🎥 Moving on, I finally reach the lion and work my way through the spikes to its face.
"If you want to make it even more evil, add much more spikes!"

Me painting a lions head with oil paint. The lion consists of chrome spikes and lava inbetween.
