ill take v.1 thanks! :P
Really, the likeness to the actor is outstanding, and the color you used for the eyes fits perfectly

this really is quite good if not a little creepy :)

Mount Doom

Shanghai (May 5, 2006)

This is a chaotic place, where blueprints are illegal and using dayschedulers is punishable with random words drawn from hats.

really though, I had no plan on what to make and this whole thing, along with the place description, is all stream of thought. Didn't stop drawing/typing to think about what I was doing for more than 3-4 seconds at any time.

-it ended up being a dragon's nest. Also, I have got to think of a better title. >_>

I keep seeing lobster claws when I first look at this. Very mystical and creative.

Deino (May 7, 2006)

Zack (May 7, 2006)

This kind of reminds me of Frazetta. Very nice blue shadows.

Youre another one on here who has not only the creativity to think up something like this, but the ability to produce it on a canvas. Truely a wonderful thing. Your arts always (ALWAYS) a charm to see for me.

What an eye you have. A simple picture full of simple shapes that are oh so tasty to the artistic eye. I really like your use of washes, and watercolor style.

Deino (May 5, 2006)

The subject is simple and interesting, totally unespected too!
You are truly admirable Axil.

HunterKiller_ (May 10, 2006)

Interesting piece.

That was a frightening photo that I thought was a painting, and yours is already coming along nicely.....

Thanks for all the comments. ya damn straight he's an awesome actor.. screw Gandalf.. Gods and Monsters anyone?

i canny seem to find the comment where Artiste reveals her (it is a her isnt it?) tricks of the trade.. something about lines bein used almost exclusively, keeping opacity down (around 100 or so).. being able to control exactly where u wanna draw.. just give it a go. Everyone should try usin lines! :D its mouse compatible which was the main advantage for me

staci (May 5, 2006)

im so helpful!

Sweetcell (May 5, 2006)

Thank you staci, I remember that one. I'll have to try line art, I always sketch everything out.

Tsukiko (May 29, 2006)

aaaawww!! so sweet :P i love this! very goooood job!
