The annual Illustrators Australia 9x5 exhibition is just around the corner. The theme for this years exhibition is rapture. I decided to explore the dictionary definition of rapture, which is intense delight. My interpretation of intense delight was to show a pair of Hyenas feasting on a dead animal.
I thought it was important to show how an image that may initially seem dark and unpleasant can be seen by others as a source of great comfort or pleasure. In the case of the Hyenas in this image they are in their own way experiencing a sense of rapture as they satisfy their hunger.
