Description

The idea for this painting has been laying inside the back of the head for quite a while, and I was basically just looking for a excuse to make it. I wanted to keep it as simple as possible, and focus on skin tones and let anatomy play an important part of the piece.

Painted during quite a few evenings using Photoshop with a Wacom tablet. Reference used for the character. (Sorry for not posting the reference, but the ref. model I used wouldn't appreciate me posting this on the internet).

+10 Only crit would be that I wish her right hand had more bone structure and skin wrinkles in it, to show more umpf! Superb work and superb anatomy, it's great to see!

i love this sorta stuff. the style is one of my favorites, it takes a lot to express so much just using a simple image. i think you pulled it of really well, but i'm afraid those hands and arms don't look tense enough for me..to me it looks like she'd have paint on her fingers so she's just dragging them lightly over the wall. i think you should make the muscles and bones pop out some more, to bring out the tension.
but still, +10 i'd like to see this image go up

Definitely one of your best. In terms of skin tones and color, this destroys your previous works.

The tire track marks seem kinda pasted on for some reason, but the use of greens/blues/reds in the skin are masterfully rendered. You've come so far from your works 2 years ago (which were also impressive). (thumbup)

er...I feel weird looking at this as I know who the ref is :o <---there is no blush smiley here.

Yay, thanks for all the nice comments

I agree now that see what a few of you have pointed out about her hand; I should look into making it a bit more tense.

mysticcat: Hehe, I haven't posted here in a while, and I don't want to spam this place. This is why I post a little at a time ;-)

Wysiwyg: Yeah, you know who the reference model is, hehe. :) I did a few tests for the background, and had some problems deciding how complex I wanted it to be, so I tried a bit back and forth with some brushes. I'm sure I could have made this better.

Lovely piece of work!. You're actually the artist that got me into drawing people alittle bit more though you don't draw, but anyway. I found your site a long while ago and I started getting into fantasy drawing and so but anyway back to your work.

I think it's wonderful, some problems have been mentioned but all in all I think it's miraculous. I really like the wall (I know that is weird) but I like it and I love the scratches. And as many times as you may hear it, you're so very very talented in this catergory of people, fantasy and surrealism (It's particially surreal yes?)

Well done!

I do love your style. I do like your oldschool pictures aswell. do you do any real pixeling anymore?

This picture was "my cup of tea". Lovely picture (as always? ;) )

Dood- this is by far the best painting you've ever done. It is subtle, has a message, and is well executed- everything a good illustration should be. Keep it up man- keep it up!!
