Description
This is my entry to Think Pink V : Digital Painting-Airbrushing/Drawing Category.Edit: Results are in! I only made it to honerable mention... Disappointing, but oh well... Onwards and upwards...
Its finally done..
This is a painting of the late Jane Tomlinson. I thought it was particularly apt as Think Pink is all about raising awareness of breast cancer, and Jane Tomlinson was a two time sufferer of the disease. Beating it once, she never let the second diagnosis stop her living her life. She tirelessly fundraised completing many sporting events that most people would deem impossible to complete perhaps even if they didnt have cancer. Jane passed away in September 2007, 3 years ago now, but her memory and legacy live on. Remember Jane.

I thought rather than stick to the pink side of Think Pink, I would try for something more thought provoking and real than a pretty girl in a pink dress, or a rose (etc etc). So, I hope I managed that. I hope my painting makes you think and empathise about not only a real person suffering from something like this, but also the inspiring side this can bring out in someone.
This took about 7 hours to paint, and I really enjoyed producing this. Digital portraits are even more fun to do that pencil ones..
It would be really great to do well in the Think Pink competition, from an arty side of things. Its a big deal and I've strived really hard on this to capture the theme, and of course Jane. I put so much more effort into this than any other painting I've done; down to the details of lines and distinguishing marks on her skin to getting the eyebrows down to the hair and the eyes just so... But I suppose if I don't do well but raise awareness of Think Pink and its aim to raise awareness of breat cancer then I've had some success ...I don't think there's anything left to say but please wish me luck and enjoy!

Ooh, nice concept, man! Adding a bit of personal flavour there, that's a good idea! I adore the way you've painted this, especially the details you've given to the texture n' that!
The only crit I have is that her teeth seem a bit bright. They stand out a bit too much and it's a little odd-looking, haha. If you gave 'em a bit more shadow or something, they might not stick out as much but I still think it looks really good! You've been getting so much better at digital painting, man O: I am in awe!
