Starving Saint

One of the concept ideas for my senior project exhibit. The essential idea is to portray the poor/hungry of the world - particularly the aspects of bodily emaciation and how all the lifeblood seems to have been leeched out of the body and now the only warmth resides in the drape. Halo originally added for graphical effect but obviously has taken on spiritual significance. Roughly based off a skeleton but still has a few anatomical mess-ups. Acrylic, pastel, charcoal, and pencil on two pieces of heavy drawing paper.
