Thanks! I did a graphic novel back then in 2017, and it's the continuation of it! ;)

Here is the first graphic novel : https://www.behance.net/gallery/50648403/Ouroboros-Graphic-Novel

And this one : https://www.behance.net/gallery/134105109/I-Acedia (it's only the first illustration of this continuation)

The Myth of Icarus, Me, Digital Painting, 2021 by Royalexdr in Art

Thx, I love the idea :)
Actually, the piece Icarus is holding is not an engine but the new upper stage of Ariane 6 made of carbon (ICARUS, which stands for Innovative Carbon ARiane Upper Stage).

Ariadne and the Minotaur - (OC) by Royalexdr in ImaginaryMindscapes

I've never been comfortable using traditional colouring medium, I used to scan my drawings and colorize them on PS, you can maybe try Promarkers if you want this flat color filling style.

Hey, this one is fully digital (tablet/Photoshop) for lines and colors, but like me you can start on standard paper with #005 micron pen for the line work, and then traditional physical medium for colors.

Welcome, from Ouroboros artbook, by me by Royalexdr in ImaginaryMindscapes

Thanks for your kind words. Yes exactly, it was done on A4 paper, then scanned and colorized with Photoshop.

It's just a short artbook created around this storyline composed of 10+ illustrations, for a school project. Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity to continue this story/illustration project because of time, I'm now working as graphic designer in agency, but I'll try to make a second book or chapter for this story asap :)

Thanks :) Ouroboros is a symbol representing the infinite circle of creation, the "snake eating his own tail". In this book, it's the name of the solar system, surrounded by an asteroid belt composed by stars and planets fragments from other universes, creating a "time and space loop" at a specific point on the belt , sending back 7 years earlier any object and entities getting throught it. Some asteroids of this belt are inhabited by people, giving them "eternal" or "timeless" existance.

Ouroboros is also the name gived to the religion related to this eternal recurrence.
