I like the skin texture you added. I like his wrinkles, too.... people with wrinkles are intresting to draw. It's like, all their life experiences and feelings and whatever are written on their faces.

I think you can be a believer of both, and I am. Being Roman Catholic myself I learned about His creation and evolution, and it's funny it seemed easy for me to blend the two, meld it if you will. I believe He exists and created the Earth and everything around us, but I also believe in the Big Bang and evolution... hmmmm maybe that makes me a bit by-polar. That would explain things.

You can have Creation and Evolution, I believe it. Maybe someone just needs to find the middle where both fits.

Awesome piece Opium, love that hair. He does look tired.....

Opium (Apr 5, 2006)

Thanks Marcello, patience, sweetcell, and gerbear! :)

Airin: dont be afraid to ruin the artwork by adding dark colors where you feel they belong. Your colors are very very light and tentative.
It looks as though you dont want to lay anything too definitive down for fear that you might ruinn the peice. I almost never paint on a pure
white canvas, and almost always start with the darker areas. It looks like youve started from the lights.

Make big broad strokes to define what you see... and dont be tentative... dont worry if you ruin it, you can always start over.

Miss_DJ (Apr 3, 2006)

my first guess would be Gwyneth Paltrow...nice start!

Airin (edited Apr 3, 2006)

Yes, it's Gwyneth, not 100% true to the ref though. There are quite a few areas where i should've used darker overall tones, but it would be very difficult for me to blend that in without changing the entire picture. The eyes for instance are cast in much more shadow than i used.

Miss_DJ (Apr 3, 2006)

yeah!! I knew it! It was obvious to me, great draw! keep goin!

Wizard

comd (Apr 1, 2006)

Nothing has been popping out to me from the blank canvas to doodle, so I went back to trying to draw from a photo again, but this time I played around with features even more than usual.

Reference photo:

I was originally planning to do an orc and sought out a scary-looking bodybuilder for the reference, but I ended up with a wizard instead.

This is my first attempt at submitting something in the advanced category. I hope it's okay: I spent ages on it, and I wanted to have the extra space available for revisions since I'm always running out of space.

I'm loving all of your work dear, this definatly belongs on advanced. keep up the good work, can't wait to see what you do next =] <3

Opium (Apr 2, 2006)

I really like this! did you really spend that much time on this?? Now that's patience. He looks so much like someone I know....I can't put my finger on it...

Sweetcell (Apr 2, 2006)

Wow just..... wow. You belong, believe me.

Reminds me of General Zod from Superman. Without the crown.

Version 1 looks like a comicbook panel.
Version 2 looks like a bronze statue.
And the 3rd I mentioned.
WOWZERS.

Miss_DJ (Apr 3, 2006)

A very interesting discovery zep. I really really like radio head, it is a very solid and lush work. Its strange because i always would associate a natural look (as far as the subjects go) to your works. Not anymore : )

zep (Apr 2, 2006)

:) as you see i´m quite naive in this kind of theme....thanks for your comments

Zack (Apr 2, 2006)

This is great. Makes me think of some deep sea diving suit. I remember those older ones too, you're great at sci-fi stuff Zep. :]

This is absolutely brilliant. I thought it was already genius at v2, but it went up yet another notch.

fleeting_memory (Mar 26, 2006)

This is weird-cool shading though
