This week’s featured artwork is Lone Wolf by digital artist Pascal Blanché. The image uses a triadic color harmony with red as the dominant color, while cyan is applied in the highlights and dark lime in the shadows. The color choices may seem unconventional, but that’s what makes this image so striking. The colors don't naturally align in a realistic sense, but they create a unique graphic look that sets this piece apart from more traditional illustrations.
Interestingly, the background circle leans more toward a warm yellow, deviating slightly from the triadic harmony. This choice adds to the overall sense of intentionality in the design, where the colors, though unexpected, work together to give the image a bold, almost otherworldly feel.
