Description For some odd reasons exams time is for me always the most productive artistically. So, between one exam and another, before I start working on the next tutorial, I figured out that something like DollHouse still exists and my own characters are slowly starting to feel offended by the lack of interest from their creator. I just wanted to doodle something quick, but you know how it works - once you start you can't stop till you have full coloured, finished picture.

This time not Iv, but Alex - working, starring at...things, thinking about something and stuff... Just whatever you want, there's no hidden message behind it.

Started with a pencil sketch, coloured in PainterX, texture added in PCS2, no reference used (just influenced by "House M.D." in case of shirts and ties - believe me, many times I just caught myself starring like hypnotised at Chase's shirt and tie instead of following the plot; call me a fashion freak).

EDIT: And again I'm in a mood for changes. I wanted it to look even more like an old painting (so the cigarette had to disappear). Hope you'll like this new version (:

This is so lifelike and expressive! I feel like I can see him breathing, and blinking, and furrowing his brow in reflective concentration. XD The most striking aspect of your work is how the characters seem to have a soul shining within their eyes.

I'm sorry for such a late reply, but since you wrote such a beautiful thing about the characters, I draw/paint, I simply still had to say thank you:>

I just love Alex's eyes alone: they hold so much emotion. It's rare to see eyes drawn/painted so beautifully. ^^ And I still love the notes and papers in the background.

Ma klimat.

Twarz (najbardziej oczy) i szyja kojarzą się z Wierzbą Rossettiego. To zamierzone czy zbieg okoliczności?

Fuj, palenie szkodzi! Co za przykład młodzieży dajesz!
Hidden to tu jest nie message, ale tło, które starannie wykonałaś (te rękopisy na ścianie), ale które widać dopiero na powiększeniu i uważnym przyjrzeniu się całości, boś upchnęła je w kąt.

Poza tym, fajnie się chłopak wpatruje się tym przyćanym wzrokiem w fiolkę. Brakuje jeszcze komiksowego dymka i "WTF?" lub czegoś równie dobrze oddającego stan rzeczy i ducha.

Btw, your House-art is hilarious (the X-Files pieces too, ha my two favourite series). Especially the one with Cameron and Chase made me laugh - I love them both, they were such fun during the second and third season. Damn, the urge to do the House meme is rising

Faktycznie, na pierwszy rzut oka wydało mi się, że to Chase, ale potem zaczęłam się zastanawiać, czy to nie Alexander z DollHouse. Potem przeczytałam Artist's Comment.

Aha i zgadzam się, że w czasie sesji ma się najwięcej interesujących pomysłów

Thank you

Well, Hugh Laurie is absolutely brilliant! It's actually Laurie and House what made me addicted to the series, but I also developed a weakness for Chase (and his outfits). Maybe because the first House episode I ever saw was "The Mistake". It's weird, but I always have this weakness for a character, that's not the main hero of the story, no matters how awesome the main hero is. And I loved Sela Ward, I hope she will come back in the next seasons.

I totally agree with your exam time productivity. It seems for me what whenever I should be studying, I get tons of ideas, and with those ideas comes the insatiable urge to act upon them. And then you have to decide whether to study, or make something awesome.
....creativity often wins out...

glad to know I'm not alone

beautiful art!
