Sotto l'ombra del diavolo

Hoy he subido a la web la ilustración en la que he estado trabajando estos días.
La comparto aquí también ya que haciendo click sobre ella puede verse algo más grande.
Las flores me dieron algo de trabajo y no acaban de convencerme; es como si alguien hubiera plantado a los miembros de la Squadra en un huerto, como si fueran lechugas... Pero no se me ocurría otra manera mejor de rematar esa composición en forma de uve.
Prentendía además, que las flores rojas simbolizaran la sangre, pero ahora pienso que nadie lo va a relacionar...
La sombra de Diavolo domina la imagen. Amenazante y misteriosa. Tanto cuando estaban a sus órdenes como cuando lo desafiaron, la presencia invisible del "Boss" ha sido siempre para Risotto y sus hombres la sombra que cobija, la sombra que amenaza y finalmente la sombra que obsesiona y arrastra a la oscuridad y a la muerte. Su razón para vivir y su condena. El destino de Diavolo y de los asesinos estaba unido del mismo modo en que una sombra no puede independizarse del cuerpo que la proyecta.


I've updated my site with the finished  illustration in  wich I was working these days.
I'm sharing it here, too, so you can see it bigger when cliking on it.
The red flowers gave me some work and now I couldn't say if putting them there was a good idea, because I feel that the assassins look like if they were vegetables planted in a garden, but I did'nt find a nicer way to border this "V" composition. Besides, I thought that red flowers could symbolize blood, but now I'm sure that nobody could draw an analogy.
Diavolo's shadow dominates the illustration. A mysterious and threatening one. The "Boss" presence has always planned on Squadra guys's lives. Under his orders or against him, Risotto and his men were fed by Diavolo's shadow, they hid or took shelter under it and finally got obssessed and threatened by this undefinied shape that engulfed them into darkness and death. They never met the man, so only his shadow was their reason for living and the cause of their death. Their destiny tied them together in the same way a shadow can't leave the body projecting it.
