Description Corvo Attano, “Dishonored”.
One of my elderly colleagues noticed me working on this picture, watched the screen for some time and suddenly asked if it’s my boyfriend.   Such questions make me anxious about the impression I make upon other people.

Random notes:
  • The pose is heavily referenced from this stock www.deviantart.com#/art/Male-S…
  • Soundtrack is "In the room where you sleep" by Dead Man's Bones
  • Perspectives are painful but fun thing to draw

Haha is it sad Johnny Cash's "God Gonna Cut You Down" came to mind after seeing this?

Amazing gorgeous perspective. (And I hoped you said 'yes' to the boyfriend comment x'D)

Just to let you know and show what I used it for, I made a thumbnail template for a few videos I am doing in this chapter of my Dishonored LP, here is the template :3 
In the actual videos and on this da page(give me a few min to update with credit) I'll add your page to it.

Yeah, my colleague's just as far from videogames as possible.
Well, when she saw this the mask hasn't been painted yet, and I was working on his crotch area, maybe that gave her those ideas... I don't know

Почему-то представилось: Корво с мрачным неистовым упорством гоняется за несчастной жертвой по грязным зачумленным переулкам, загоняет её в тупик... хлопает по плечу, радостно кричит "а теперь ты меня догоняй" и исчезает в ночи XD

This is perfect.  Corvo is such a neat character; I just wish there was more scenes with that mask.  It was a treat seeing it before the main missions.

I think it was just a creative way to call you a geek

This is really nice, I enjoy the perspective and colours. I don't know the guy, but I don't like the way he's looking at me. Have you tried blurring the building behind him just a little bit? I think it would push the depth a bit more. Though I also like how claustrophobic it looks right now (ok, that's not the right word there, but I hope you get what I mean )

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ViaEstelar In reply to GreenSprite [2014-05-16 16:53:07 +0000 UTC]

Maybe

Don't worry, he may look scary, but my Corvo had never killed anyone. He will probably just hug you to sleep.
And yeah, good idea with blurring, it's worth toying around with, since I happened to keep a non-texturized psd file with unmerged layers (rare occasion. Layers never survive by the end of my work ).

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

GreenSprite In reply to ViaEstelar [2014-05-17 10:24:46 +0000 UTC]

He didn't kill anyone? So there's a way to play that game without killing at all? Impressive, now I really have to try it

Well, you could still blur even if you merged your layers. Just play with the lasso, there's always a chance to find a selection that works. I've had some very picky clients and had to do big changes at the last moment, and that taught me nothing is impossible (but many things are incredibly annoying, of course).

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ViaEstelar In reply to GreenSprite [2014-05-17 12:25:43 +0000 UTC]

Yes, you're absolutely free to make him a revenge-driven killing machine or a local version of Batman, all stealthy, calculating and wanting justice. Or combine both approaches. While he can be REALLY creative with killing, I dislike his darker version. It is way more satisfying to let people live and to destroy bosses non-lethally. In this case bad guys suffer more

Lasso and masks help with layers merged, but I hate it SO MUCH. Have such clients too. Whiny bastards
