This collection of tiki gods attempts to shed light on a lost and forgotten world. Some exist in plain view among the throng of civilization. Others are shrouded in mystery and deadly intentions, born witness by no more than the wildest of beasts for centuries. The power and energy in all of them is palpable and each has its own special characteristics and story to tell. It is with great hope that the many years of exploration, research and sadly, gruesome deaths, will not be in vain and the history of this dying world of the mystical will continue to be handed down to future generations.]]> Mon, 26 May 2008 17:38:25 +0000 http://chetart.cgsociety.org/gallery/635609

This is from a series of 36 Tiki Portraits, all created using Corel's Painter X. Pencil sketches were scanned and used Painter's scratch board tool for line work and pastel brush with grainy hard textures to lay in color.

Each portrait has its own brief description of attributes to evoke a form of history for the entire set. This piece is titled "Pan Tiki" and the accompanying text for it:

Guards the beaches and acts as a trickster siren, the Pan Tiki lures unwanted ships into the shallows of Desperation Atoll. This siren song also discourages the presence of sharks for miles, making it a haven for surfers.
