YEA!!!
No...
Sad to say, this is not the number of downloads of my book
nor the page views of this blog. It’s an artwork that I created to represent
that Leonardo da Vinci himself can see angels/spirits and created an anatomical
study of them.
It’s on my deviant art. At first, I thought the number of
people viewing it and downloading it would decline as the epic strands of time
passes by. But no, both views and downloads is still increasing every day. Oh I
hope that would convert into sales, because I’ll be a happy boy if that would
happen.
I studied Da Vinci art by myself, thanks to the internet and
‘the little book of Leonardo da Vinci’
I came to know how he drew his sketches; those fine strokes he did and the
amount of detail he gave to them. He also have some notes, which I don’t understand
up to now, so I just scribbled unknown words to the art work I made ‘The Muscleanatomy of an Angel’.
I try to imagine a possible joint-lock not directly at the
wing bone but instead to the upper arm socket or at the shoulder. I gave how
wings flex and created the thickness of muscles as it contracted. I even
pointed out the angles and the limits of the wings when they are stretching
out. all based on how da Vinci depicts a study. But I didn’t caught an actual
angel and dissect him/her, okay? (wink, wink)
Here’s my sketch:
