Wow, they say that time flies when you’re having fun. It also flies when you’ve been very busy.
I figure it’s time for a posting. It’s been so long since I posted anything about the Tower of Terror murals. I’m also pleased to see so many people logging on from around the world. So to honor those who have been checking out the sight from India, I share with you the mural of Harrison Hightower’s adventures in India.
I really enjoyed painting this one. The elephant was fun to research and I was happy with the sky’s reflections in the irrigation troughs. Initially I was painting it with a very strong golden sunset.
I can’t remember why I changed it. Perhaps it was a choice involving the overall color scheme in the lobby and with the other paintings.
I’ll include here some details and reference photos that I used.
I don’t know what the origin of this monster is. I don’t know if it is modeled after some authentic Indian sculpture or not. The design was given to me by Disney. There is a large artifact that is present somewhere on the grounds or basement of the Tower of Terror that looks just like this thing.
