Beautiful painting! Your way of painting is so unique and pretty, I wish that I could paint the way you do.

wow, excellent work!
i really like the shade of blue that you used...
btw is "prometheus'' any good?
i am planning on watching it tomorrow with a friend of mine, and i was wondering if it is worth it!
(although i really am into that kind of movies, i just wanted to make sure that i won't waste my time on a cheap and bad film!)

len-yan In reply to Modlen [2012-07-17 08:55:29 +0000 UTC]

well i'm not a pro reviewer but personally, i loved the movie. it had a couple of scenes that might be considered slightly disturbing (gore wise) but i really liked it a lot - scenario, execution, actors' performance, visuals, music.. a fine piece of sci-fi, i will surely watch it again whenever i get the chance. still, this is a very subjective opinion so you might want to double check with google for other people's reviews?
thank you for the kind words on the picture^^

Great piece! Kind of reminds me of David (though he isn't really so much human now is he? ) . I think the lyrics of Blue Lips is really fitting, even if you listen to the whole song.

len-yan In reply to VirLupus [2012-07-17 07:56:31 +0000 UTC]

yeah, i wanted to make the character a little bit similar to david, i guess that way the title can be understood in a somewhat ironic context (more human than a human?). i had a lot of random thoughts going on in my head while working on this one;;
thanks for the kind words!

nice fusion of different inspirations into an original concept. I confess that I'm only familiar with Prometheus from those 3, and that's what caught my eye, but I love how it was more than that.

Really beautiful, Initially clicked on it because of the title, (huge Regina Spektor fan) but it's really gorgeous. Love the contrast between the pale skin and lips and veins. Wonderful.
