Description This is my first shot at a digital painting. The frame is a little iffy, since I essentially painted over it and added my own things (the skulls), but eh. The portait is actually painted over, too. I used the painting of the Prince from Beauty and the Beast, but it ended up changing a lot.

This is an illustration project. I have to illustrate the cover of the book, and this was my original design, which has since been slaughtered modified to better fit the typography requirements. Stupid typography.

Is that supposed to be dorian's shadow on the right corner? This is actually pretty creepy, but in a good way. Nice touch with the golden skull on there.

Heh, that's funny. I thought the person in the painting looked a bit Sands-like, which is somehow kinda ironic, given that it's Dorian Grey.

I like the colors, too. Nice how it's all shiney, but all dark at the same time.

Ooh, lovely! the painting has a wonderful painted texture and it does look a lot like the prince, which is a good thing.

Yeah, I textured it on photoshop so it'd look like an actual painting. I'm pretty happy with it. I think I'll do more like this, if I ever get the time ^^.

It reminds me of the Beast... from Beauty and the Beast.
I like this a lot. I did my own version for my English class last quarter.

Not in the beginning. It's only after time that the painting starts to age.
