Art Improved: The Scream

Between 1893 and 1910, Edvard Munch created four different iterations of “The Scream,” which has remained an icon ever since. This is the most recognizable image of the painting. 

There are many theories as to the meaning of the painting. Edvard Munch has said that it appeared to him as a force of nature one evening while on a stroll. He felt a scream reverberate through the scenery around him and was inspired to paint it.

If we were to have a human manifest this symbolic event, there is no better one than Kanye West. Kanye has been a reflection of society and the very fabric of this world. He embodies nature and states things as they are in the world around him. Thus, this painting has been updated with the knowledge we now have of Kanye West to better represent its intended meaning.

This Raptor-flavored spoof of The Scream started as a silly doodle, and ended up a full-blown digital painting.  This was a lot of fun to do, thanks to all at DADD for the occasion!

I'm rather proud of this.  It's an entirely digital painting, done on a graphics tablet in Jasc Paint Shop Pro with a few original versions of The Scream and a toy velociraptor as reference.  This was "painted" using only the Paint Brush and Smudge tools, and the Dropper tool was used to pick up colors from one of the originals.

No filters or anything like that were used, what you see is what I got manually.

Happy (slightly belated) Draw a Dinosaur Day!
