I was bruised and battered
And I couldn't tell what I felt
I was unrecognizable to myself
Saw my reflection in a window
I didn't know my own face

Oh brother are you gonna leave me wasting away
On the streets of Philadelphia

I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone
At night I could hear the blood in my veins
Just as black and whispering as the rain
On the streets of Philadelphia

Ain't no angel gonna greet me
It's just you and I my friend
And my clothes don't fit me no more
I walked a thousand miles just to slip this skin

The night has fallen, I'm lyin' awake
I can feel myself fading away
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss
Or will we leave each other alone like this
On the streets of Philadelphia

this turned out wonderful! do you happen to know what crocodilian you referenced this pic from? it's going to drive me nuts! :S

I really like the texture of teh scales, and the orange vs. red in the eye was what drew mine.

HunterKiller_ (Mar 21, 2006)

The colours and texture make it looks more like a thick skinned dragon. Excellent.

Trying some more in this very opaque, loose style from a photo of Tilda Swinton (very beautiful actress). I'm not sure I can pull it off this time.

- Couldn't really pull it off this time. I ended up repainting it with a focus on details instead and did a value study; pretty much a failure since I couldn't do it the way I intended.

Thanks all for the comments. I have mixed feelings about this one - I don't completely dislike the end result (though I ran out of space before I got started on the hair again), but it was really a cop out as I reverted back to a style that was comfortable to me. I wanted to paint once again in the style of my earlier picture, and this time things just didn't seem to click like they did before. I think part of it is because I went even bolder this time with the contrast - the last time I built up more gradually with the tones. I also think it was a mistake to go with a celebrity before I had this technique down since I started becoming too concerned about having some sense of likeness (the last one doesn't resemble the person in the photo, but that didn't bother me since I didn't know who he was and didn't have a very good feel for how he looked). That also made me start thinking more about lines again which is something I wanted to avoid. The last one also had very prominent shadows and I could feel the form coming out of them even when I was just painting with two colors. I ended up redoing most of this picture and became a slave to the photo again. I'm going to have to keep trying harder before I can get this technique down.

This dude is smart.

I keep coming back to this to look at the eyes. The whole thing works but I think the eyes are magnificent.

Axil62 (Mar 21, 2006)

Yes yes, quite so. I would most assuredly agree.

I told you it was 30 minutes, not an hour. Now you've ruined the baby.

Complete revision of Water Ghost, seeing as how I lost it and all, much happier with this version..

I love this one! It is better than the first, the water is way better

Kloxboy (Mar 19, 2006)

That's awesome. I love the illustration, excellent work. :)

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 19, 2006)

I really, really love these. When I buy my beach house I want to commission you to paint these on huge canvases. (dream on, Cindy)

HunterKiller_ (edited Mar 19, 2006)

This is truly wonderful, absolutely beautiful. However, i have a nitpick, =P I think the circle of background showing through should be a tad darker to give more depth and contrast.

EDIT: But now i look at it again, it's probably not a good idea as it would draw too much attention away from the foreground. =]

How utterly beautiful. Your talent combined with your command of the tools here makes for a visual feast! I love your work :D

wtf....

excellent work.

Sweetcell (Mar 19, 2006)

stunning, almost as if it were on fire, but coming to life as well if that makes any sense. I just love your pieces.

Shoot - I ran out of space again. She got flattened out by the color. I need to put in some deep shadows. :\

Yay, got an extension and managed to fix up some of those problems.

Beautiful and magnificent. Years late but still, this is lovely. I love the purple added to that, as well.
