Completed as first class assignment. with theme "Whats on Top" or something similar. As in what has been on your mind for the past couple of months. I think the Mayan Calender has been a slight undercurrent to be perfectly honest.
We are in the final year of the Mayan Calender, some how equating to doom and gloom, I think the year will pass peacefully for mine (colloquial for imho). This artwork represents the presence of a particular calculation I am sure is on many minds. It is large and powerful, due in part to the various interpretations that have been passed on from generation to generation.
I initially drew the calendar with pencil using one we had hanging on the wall. although I rendered the pencil sketch, this piece functioned better with an over-layed photograph of the object on top (the same as the one I drew)
switching between Mac and my P.C , lots of tonal adjustments were needed for the presentation, this appears quite dark on my monitor and I love it like this, strongest contrast for some time. Unsure how it appears for you.
One of my favourites.

The lighting gives this pic the feeling of a presence of magic, or strong power, with the idea that this artifact has been long, long ago buried deep within the earth or something
thank you for your response
Yeah, the whole 2012 thing is no going to happen I reckon. Still, it's pretty strange knowing this ancient thing is finally going to expire within our lifetime
thanks for commenting
i love it
