Description
Tools: ArtRage 2.5 and tabletTime: 5 hours on the original, full version and another hour adding the background and so on in this part of it.
Painted for #dapride 's Emotion contest
Started off as a portrait of my sister, closely referenced from a photograph (realism practice).
The cat is also referenced from one of my photographs, with the lighting changed - this cat
The seagull tattoos are out of my head.
Anyway, apart from the troubles I'm having painting a 'real person' for once, I didn't think I should be putting pictures of my sister up online. Also, had something else in mind for the full portrait.
Anyway, I cropped the top off, and changed the background and a bit of the lighting. And now they're outside, ather than inside by a window...
Title is because my sister requested an "Autumn Colours' picture, so the phrase was in my head while painting, and it all matched nicely.

A really nice picture, and I think your best 'human' picture you've done so far. I also like the vampiric feel of the teeth, intended or not

Did you miss the bit where I said it was my sister?
...
wait, you think I'm human?
Thank you! It toook a loooong time to paint

No, I caught it, hence the 'human' in comma's... your own origins are lost in the mists of time, who can possibly say what your sister might be...
Yeah, that's one of the many reasons why I try not to deal with realism. It's much too difficult. So much easier to just create something entirely new. Fun too!

Neat picture, and I can see just from the mouth there that the face is quite realistic

Thank you! Yes, that was fun. I'm learning to use different paint thicknesses and blend differently now ^_^ It actually makes it a lot faster, as well - knowing what to do rather than taking the long way around.
