Description * I keep forgetting to mention these Red portraits are an homage to a favorite artist, Odilon Redon ~~
[link]

More PS/tablet noodling. Controlling the color went better this
time. I was surprised that I couldn't paintbucket the background without coloring the other layers as well - I even put a base color on the face for what I thought would prevent it being paintbucketed anyway didn't work. Did I do something wrong, or can we even do this?

OH! I referenced this stock of a weary guy in what seems to be a Dr Who scarf . . . hope he's not dead . . .

I took the title to mean that he's surrounded by dreams/thoughts of Lily. Reading the comment I see that's not the intention you had. Still, I guess it could be interpreted that way, right?
It's stunning, btw.

Surely - most of my work is Symbolist; interpretation is up to the individual viewer. Thanks very much, I'm glad you like it (I may be revising this series one day as when I did these I was ill and only had photoshop for a couple of days )

Gorgeous! And this really does fit well with the emotions/symbolism that Redon portrayed in his work. The striking red against Snape's white/black is just beautiful and the yellow streaks make it even more eye catching!

His face is so calm and the red is so vibrant, I love it. I enjoy that symbolism of the red too. When I get the money, I'll totally buy a print

Yep And I'll buy a print when I get richer... well, who knows, when it will happen... Have many people bought prints of any of the series pics?

Stunning! What I love about your digital paintings (as opposed to so many others I have seen) is that you maintain the expressions of the characters and the poetry of the art. What I mean is, they never come across as lifeless, bland, or 'digital.'

Thank you, that means a lot to me. I dislike how flat and thin digital looks compared to Traditional work, and have been trying to overcome that aspect of digital painting. Of course, I have miles to go . . . but thanks much, that's encouraging to hear

I enjoy your work because it reminds me of illustrations. You have a delightful and dark way of creation. I hope you don't mind if I watch you. I hope you don't mind if I say illustrations, but that is one of my favorite types of art. They are so intricate and full of life even at their darkest hour. I enjoy your work and cannot wait to see more...wonderful gallery full of interesting pieces.
