Description (O_O) ITS FINISHED!!! ITS FINALLY FINISHED!! This shall become my new flagship! I can truely say without ego that this is my greatest painting.. so far. I'm capping this one at around 25-30 hours of pure work spread over 2 months with a third month inbetween where I stopped working on it for awhile. Started way back 3 months ago. Yet it was supposed to be done before I left college! And It was supposed to be a speed painting! Pulled a Gulligan's Island on this one for sure ("It was supposed to be a 3 hour tour!").

So here you all go! I present to you my renaissance Blue Jester!


PSCS2, intuos3 tablet, lots of blood and sweat...

Yeah I like this one, it's feeling of celebration. Slight feeling of uncertainty in his face lol, it's always good with them though.

I always found jesters kind of creepy, but your work gives me second opinion on them. I love your work!

see i keep saying that. They're just entertainers who are out to make us feel happy or at least find the interesting side of life. At least my jesters do. Thanks for checking it out

I checked your stats, it says you're watching 4 people. You should go browse more peoples galleries around here. There is so much to see! Whenever i find an artist whose art i like, i just +watch them right away. Say hi to more people, its how you get exposed more and get more people to see your work. And along the way you get to pick up some new techniques by seeing more artists' works!

Aww, why thank you! I usually never get any "fan-like" comments so this makes my day (^_^) . I'm really glad ya like it

And ya, I like colors

I'm trying to bring back the image of the Jester as a talented performer and entertainer. Someone who tries to bring happiness to everyday life, as opposed to the millions of dark versions out there.

And thanks once again for this comment!!

Stygians-Fool In reply to BluDrgn426 [2006-08-23 11:37:52 +0000 UTC]

I have to agree that jesters really are servants to other people's happiness. The dark versions are usually a mix of the pierrot (sad/happy mime) Although many jesters mock as well It's good to see some jester work out here like this though.
