Description
*edit* slightly updated version, his chest and face bugged me :/ah hell, wanted to wait with this one till new website update, but as I have no time for that now..
An old idea I had. And yes, this is a very feminine, androgynous guy, this is a part of the story. I won't bore you with this one yet
No direct refs (just looked up some pics for his.. err, stick? how the hell is this thing called anyway? *edit* cane, thanks guys! ah, I feel dumb, it was such an obvious one
), painted from scratch in PS CS2.

He's beautiful. I love the taloned gloves and the way you created all the feathers. The shadow shapes in the background are all wonderful too. And the color choices are excellent...the subtle grays setting off the vivid red and blue.
Wonderful work!

Za pomocą kilku pociągnięć zmieniłaś zupełnie charakter pracy. Uwielbiam tego typu makijaże. Są extremalne, prawie jak maska i może dlatego sprawiają wrażenie jakby kryły pod spodem tajemnicę. Świetny kontrast pomiędzy twarzą,a resztą pracy

I think you need to spend more time on practicing anatomy. The body in this image is quite poor, compared to the detail of the face. Your faces are always so lovely and well done, but your bodies seem to suffer, like they were an after-thought.
The background is really quite interesting. I like it a lot! The grass looks so real.

Why not try taking photos of yourself for reference? It's a shame for you to get lazy on such gorgeous pieces! (Though I definitely understand the 'lazy' part. For me it usually results in an unfinished picture altogether or I just don't bother coloring it. xD) My anatomy isn't as good without a reference either, but the more you practice at it, the better it will get without one.
And thanks.

eh, i do take photos but of myself. and i don't have a male body, so that doesn't help.. but yeah, i plan on being less lazy
anyway, why did you loose it? silly question, i know. still - you were one of my first and biggest inspirations! and i want you to be one still. come on, it'll all come back!

Awesome, thanks! I love close-ups.
I think he's creepier because of veiny stuff. It doesn't look like make-up anymore, but like something that's an actual part of his face. Wouldn't want to meet him in person.
Then again, he's kinda hot...

He reminds me of Jack Fairy form Velvet Goldmine.

I love it! Wonderful!
Actually, a can has a curved handle and is stout enough to hold a person's weight.
A walking stick has a knobbier handle and is meant more for ornamentation and prestige.
What you have here is a walking stick.

ah, i see! well, seems like a "walking stick" would add even more, hmm, weirdness to his image
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup.
My husband adds this bit of information: Walking sticks originated in wet countries, like Britain. They're actually for balance. Because leather-soled shoes and wet cobblestone don't mix.
