Description
Picture hastily done for a new Swedish RPG called Noir in the upcoming season this fall. Not strictly horror and macabre but it has strong elements of it. I won't say anything more than that I'm one of the lead artists on the project and it'll be real good stuff. This one's for a small promo- introduction for the magazine Fenix.Technique used in this artwork: Watercolor - grayscale
****Edit:
Well wow, never thought this one would receive a DD
At first I thought it weird that there seemed to be a lot more comments than yesterday and then the comments just continued to grow in number hehe. Anyway, much as I'm surprised about receiving this DD I'm also grateful for all the comments and favs, I'll try to answer each and every one of them as soon as possible.
Thank you [link] for the feature and to all and everyone for the appreciation, it really means a lot
*****Edit once more: As much as I appreciate the gesture I nevertheless can't make this one a print. It's unfortunately too small to make a good print seeing that it's only 10x6 cm in its original format so it wouldn't be a very large print. Sorry folks

This is great. I just love noir stuff, matter of fact I was trying to write a PI story a while ago and that guy is exactly what my character was going to look like, the classic noir look -> Coat, tie, fedora.
Like the white bit on his face too.

Well, he looks a little insane in my opinion or at least he seems to be having certain problems with reality^^ Thanks Judge. Oh and that white symbol is the logo/symbol of Sandukar, main city in the RPG

That is so cool! I love how bright the white seams against the man's face!

Thanks^^ As a matter of fact, the symbol is touched up a little in photoshop since I accidentally managed to blotch it with a dark tone at one end of it

Ohhh okay. Gotcha XD Yeahhh Watercolors and the paper have a mind of their own I think. You still did amazing though :3 Thanks fer sharing

Oh the accident had nothing to do with either water or paper surface, I was a a clumsy dumb-ass, that's all^^ As a matter of fact I crave total control when I paint ( and draw ) so I use very little water and I'm very sparse in using color. In effect this means a lot of work on most of my pieces since I have to go all over it again and again until I'm satisfied with the end result. It might not make much difference sometimes to the casual guy who's looking at them but it means a lot artist/skill-wise to me. If I can't measure up to a cool effect, i.e it just happened by chance I'll not be as satisfied with it at all since I wasn't the one who achieved it.

Ah I see. Well, don't be too hard on your self for it. -has done it to many times to count-
It makes sense to do it that way. Haha I think if given a chance, every artist would go back and mess with things so its just right. :3 I'm that way to when I know I can fix it. I am a color crazy water color person so when I mess up I can't really go back and fix it. All I can do is make it look like its supposed to be there. Oh and white paint..I love white paint. XD
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yep, if applicable white paint is a nice thing^^ As for being too hard on myself, that's what makes me evolve. If I don't take it that seriously I don't feel I get anywhere with my stuff. I don't consider myself to be among the elite but that's where I set my preferences and that's where I'm intending to be one day even though I might not succeed. Never be content

Cool I really like the way you drew the picture and the brush technique.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Thank you, the brush technique just happened because I was in a hurry when I made this one. A total fluke but it payed off, the style seems popular^^

Wow very impressive technique, and the mood is great!

Yes, the Noir- genre seems like a highly popular one and it IS good, just never figured my particular pieces of it would be so popular. Thanks Emily ^^
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I love how well you've captured that Noir spirit - that *grittiness* and harshness that is essential to the genre. 
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
To be honest, the grittiness was just a filling to the piece. I was in a real hurry when I made it since it was going into print the very same day, only an hour later and the piece as such didn't look complete at all until I added the grit to it. That this hasty job would get a DD was a total surprise to me^^
Thanks Darth

Haha I hear ya. It's amazing what textures can sometimes do for you, no?
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Still, it was a surprise indeed^^ As for textures, they are always needed, even if they're not even there.
