Description

An experiment with digital painting, with some photographs I shot as reference.
What lies beyond our point of view? What kind of horrors Valpurgisnacht has unleashed against the unfortunate investigator of the occult? Only an evil god could tell...

I love it that it has a distinct Noir feel... and yet there's something very Cthulian about it as well. (Does that foreground wall hide a skull-like manifestation? O_o) That, and the fact that you've somehow managed to make everything look slimy (including the trench coat), makes this very disturbingly beautiful.

Huh! Nice experiment! I wish I could do some experiments like this one...
You did a very good job! Colors are amazing, I like the contrast, that man is so real... Just amazing!

FatherStone In reply to panijeziora [2009-09-09 07:48:03 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! The man looks real because he actually exists, in a certain sense. He is another picture of me I turned to an older man (I mean older than I am).
I'm glad you like it, thanks!

Talk about changing up style! Great work FatherStone ^_^

The colours used for the backgrounds really do evoke feeling of a nightmare.

Marlon Brando?

Thanks a lot, my friend! I'm glad you like it! You're not the first to tell the character looks like Brando... but is just me, in a certain sense... LOL (in doing this I used a photo I shot in the mirror as reference: I'm not so old and grim, anyway!)
thanks a lot for the comment and for stopping by!

Wow, thanks for the comment, mate! I started with a 1920 setting in mind but the picture came out more 1950 looking... a little hard-boilde, maybe! Glad you like it!

Fabulous! I love the colouring and lighting... the green thingie looks a bit weird, but the red "stripe" with skulls is really cool.

Abelardo80 [2008-01-07 16:17:35 +0000 UTC]

Nooo, e noo! Lo sai che Γ¨ bellissima come composizione? Dalla scelta dei verdi ai colori sul cappotto dell'investigatore! Forse un pΓ² piatta la manica colla pistola, ma chi se ne...

Ovviamente anche nelle Notti di Valpurga la progenie di Cthulhu regna sovrana!



p.s. Lui assomiglia un pΓ² al Padrino...

FatherStone In reply to Abelardo80 [2008-01-08 08:39:23 +0000 UTC]

Grazie mille! Felice che ti piaccia! Sulla manica mi sa che hai ragione. In effetti a guardarla bene sembra un po' meno tridimensionale del resto. Non escludo modifiche e ritocchini futuri, comunque... alla fine sono una delle cose positive del digitale!

Il "Lui" del disegno parte da una mia foto scattata allo specchio... Ovviamente mi sono un "pochino" invecchiato e incupito... ma forse neanche piΓΉ di tanto!

Grazie mille per il commento e per il fav!

Aspe, voglio un consiglio, ti mando un note...
Prego e alla prossima|!
