Description Another one for the Dark Archer fans.  I wanted a shot of Malcolm offering Thea his hand, but they used depth of field blurring on this shot, so... once more, art to the rescue!

I was originally going to try to paint it by rebuilding his face from the blurry photo, but that didn't work so hot.  This head is from a different screenshot that I happened to find by accident.

Photo references used, technique mainly by :Sheridan-J :

Special thanks to Dark Empress who helped with a crucial decision on the final look of this painting.  ; )

Hey here is me, Dark Empress, cause my other account crapped out on me I write in my password,  WHICH I HAVE FIRMLY WRITTEN DOWN ON PAPER AND HAS WORKED BEFORE.. I'm officially tired of this.
I wanted to review this and spent the last 2 hours creating a new email address to create this account.
This is beautiful, you are an artist like no other.  Thank you for the recognition for my small amount of help.
I love how you did the details, the glove, the face, the hair, the coat.
You never cease to amaze me
Beautiful.
xoxo
Dark Empress/ Ice Archer

you are a truly dedicated fan!  (who has rotten luck with passwords!)

     you really are the master of malcolm's facial expression analysis, and i couldn't have done it without you.  (plus, i'm REALLY bad at making decisions.)

     and i'm glad you like the details in the glove and coat and stuff.  because those things are a real pain to do, although they are less detailed than the face.  but then again, i don't have sheridan's guidance on how to paint those things, so i tend to use my own techniques, and those are... usually less than photorealistic.  on a good day.  : X

Hopefully the luck is improving. I am nothing if not determined. NEVER STAY DOWN, right? I really love the details, on the quiver and his collar and the way you painted the material of his costume REALLY well, which is what I had not mentioned before.
