okay just browsing around the site because I can and I stopped scrolling around when it came to your painting.... As I look at it, I'm thinking "Wow! Whoever took that Picture is a really good photagrapher..." However, when I clicked on it, it ended up being a wonderful oil painting!! Holey Moley, You're good!!!

Congrats on the daily deviation! It's very good- full of emotion. Very well done! It seems as if he was painted to make him look unattractive- The small eyes added to this.

The nose is a bit lop-sided. (thought you needed something other than blind praise today...not that I wouldn't be more than happy to extol you much praise...)

gorgeous. it's like if rembrant did artwork for diablo... or something. Damn this is slick. I used to work a lot in oils, but now I stick to ink work. This has some great sensability regarding the shadow and use of light and color. great form in the face too, i really dig.

Great stuff. I am just starting to paint really.
I have my current peice in my journal.
Du you have a picture of the thing that inspired this? or the original photo if there was one?

valkenburg In reply to xEXILEDx [2005-02-23 07:46:42 +0000 UTC]

No, I didn't use a photo. I looked into a mirror while painting this to get the dimensions of the face right, so it looks a little bit like me!

Wow.
This reminds me of Bhaal from Diablo 2. There's one picture where he also comes out of the dark and it has the same colorscheme. And you know what? I LOVE BHAAL!
This face looks so depressed and unpredictable. Really scary.
I'm more afraid of such picture than of those with monsters full of blood and 545334 inch teeth.
Great job!
