Description Finally, after being set aside for 2 weeks (one week from being wiped out from illness, the other from vacation to 2 mcr concerts!), he's finally done!

I took a nosedive into this project and found out it had so much more work involved and this provided a challenge for me. I'm especially proud of the work I did on his eyes, hair, and hands.
I love this photo [link]
and how focused he was in the picture itself and I love muse, so I thought, well I've never painted Matt before, but why the hell not?!

Very nice! I like Matt Bellamy a lot, his compositions have a sort of classical influence that I dig. Have you heard United Stated of Eurasia? It's so much like Queen! And the lyrics he writes are so thoughtful... like those of Uprising.

I have to say, one of your most realistic pieces. And Matt's so cute, too! :]
I like how you made the texture of his hair and also made the piano keys look perfectly even, and even how you shadowed this piece. Another astounding work of art

I actually thought this was a photo to start with! I mean, I can now tell that it's not, but seriously, it's amazing. The painting is incredibly smooth, and you're right to be proud about the work you've done on the hair - the light reflection is great - and hands - the way you've picked out the veins - and eyes - the shadows.
Overall, it's just so detailed. Pretty fabulous. I'm going to check your other work out now.

Thank you so much! I am a sucker for details! They can be grueling at times, but they matter a lot in a work of art

Well thank you! Although I DO beg to differ on that last comment! Gee=the love. I'd say they're 2 quite different and very talented performers though!

it is breathtaking, the detailing in the eyes and hands spectacular, and the light shading around the edges of his face have been done very well... i like the way it fades into the darker shadows of his facial features. i also like the hair and how it looks soft and highly realistic, and the way you've done the shadows on the piano keys give a very nice effect. the hemming of his pants also stand out very nicely the fact that you've highlighted where the material folds and last but not least i like how you haven't drawn in the microphone as i feel it takes alot away from the main focus...him and the piano. wonderful work, thanks for sharing with us

Thank you SO MUCH for the awesome feedback!!!! :hugs: It took a lot longer than I originally thought when I first started, but I'm happy with the results! The piano keys took FOREVER if you can imagine! I love your latest work too!
