I don't think this is shocking. A lot of painter do something like this because it's somehow easier to draw the form of skulls than the form of a face. So the skull is there as a framework for painting the face.
There are also a lot of painters who start with naked people and then dress them. This also helps with 'transparent' clothing.
And when you learn to draw comics most of the time you start with a 'skull' of the character.
- archgoon 11y agoThere are no people in the final version where the skulls were, and they were around his feet. Also, if that were the case, then we would expect the court characters to also have painted over skulls.
- geon 11y agoYour comment would make sense if the skulls were painted under the faces of the audience. But from the x-ray (and the description in the article), it looks like it was a circle of skulls laying on the floor, used as props by the performer.
