Saw this painting by Giovanni Bellini in Paris a couple of weeks ago... I liked it and thought I'd just try! :P

Had to liposuck the little boy a bit... I think he's still too fat and his head is still too small... *sigh*

davincipoppalag (Oct 28, 2005)

This looks like a good start on a very ambitious project. I want to see it again after you get in more of the details

IamaCunt (Oct 28, 2005)

Awesome, I like it can't wait to see it when it's finished it's gonnah be "ON DA EDGE"

Wonder if this is enough detail... I'm not sure I can get any more in it!! Pretty happy with the result myself I guess :o)

Hmmm... not sure the add-ons are an improvement

StrawberryPaintbrush (Oct 30, 2005)

Definate improvement. I like it

Ruggi (Nov 8, 2005)

Thank you Sin! Maybe I should've made the chopper up there a bit more noticeable though...

Setting Sun

Ruggi (Oct 25, 2005)

This is definitely eye-catching. Good job at 'pretty'...

StrawberryPaintbrush (Oct 30, 2005)

OOOO so pretty. The color definately catches your attention. (This is still Somebody btw..hehe)

Krissebaby (Apr 29, 2007)

I love the colors in this. Dramatic.

Ruggi (Apr 30, 2007)

I still like this one myself too. I have it as desktop pic at the office. Slightly stretched, haha!

Ruggi (Oct 21, 2005)

Hmmm... sometimes my portraits look like people. They just don't always look like the right people.

friend (Oct 26, 2005)

Cool drawing! She looks like sort of like michael jackson. That eye is creeping me out.......

Ruggi (Oct 26, 2005)

Still wondering though... are the irises too close together, or the eyes as a whole?

And I can assure you the real thing looks mucho better than Michael Jackson! Though they have been mixed up before... lol

StrawberryPaintbrush (edited Oct 30, 2005)

I dont see Michael Jackson. I like the right eye. She is pretty. Man you guys are harsh. haha
Oh..This is Somebody. I forgot I am on my Step Daughters id. lol.

Ruggi (Oct 31, 2005)

Heh thank you Straw.... Some.... Sin! Well it's okay that people are harsh, I guess you really learn more and faster when people say what they think. Plus, compliments are much more meaningful too when you know people will tell you your draw sucks when it does.

I like your idea, are you promoting drink driving? :D

Ruggi (Oct 16, 2005)

Ooh I didn't think about it that way! Does that mean I should mark it 16- only...?

somebody (Oct 18, 2005)

oh dear I thought it was kind of a cool draw. Didnt even think of drining and driving when I saw this

Ruggi (Oct 10, 2005)

Thank you!! *big smile*

Took me a long time though, for such a tiny draw. 98 minutes for a 243x59 canvas... which means I did 5 pixels every two seconds. Am I slow...?

Miss_DJ (Oct 11, 2005)

hi Ruggi, thanks for stopping by my pic and your nice comment! This draw is really good. I don't think slow or fast is the point, just how happy you are with your art. You should be happy with this one, real nice work!

Ruggi (Oct 11, 2005)

Thank you Miss DJ! Lol I wanted to respond but found out I couldn't! Thought there was some rule about a max number of times to respond to yr own draws or something like that.... and then I found out I wasn't logged on yet!! :p

Anywayyyyy.... thank you for stopping by and for your encouraging remarks! I think I like this one best so far... but maybe that's just because I'm a geophysicist, haha.

McR_SlipKnoT_LoveRs (Oct 24, 2005)

wow this is great!! :$ love the realism

Moonlight

Ruggi (Oct 7, 2005)

Some more layer and light experimenting...

somebody (Oct 7, 2005)

nice. I like the light peeking through the curtains
;o)

Ruggi (Oct 7, 2005)

I think I forgot to give the back wall any attention.... *rolls eyes*

In Denial

Ruggi (Oct 6, 2005)

Had to try how the layers work, so I did this one... much like one that I have done before. And still in denial...

Ruggi (Oct 7, 2005)

Thanx!!! :o)

You could say it's all a bit straight, flat and 2-D ofcourse, but hey I'll just deny it!

I'm not sure about what it all means myself, it has something to do with covering up the blue cold and the cracks in yr life, but still showing them at the same time for the ones who take half a second to think. And I don't know why it's a girl really, it was a boy before. Oh well, things change I guess?

Miss_DJ (Oct 11, 2005)

denial...more than just a river in Egypt. Sometimes a very comfortable protective blanket. Nice art again...there's no 'denying it...lol

Krissebaby (Apr 29, 2007)

I don't see this as too straight, flat and 2-D. But then, what do I know? How I got an A in my 2-D Design class is beyond me!

Ruggi (Apr 30, 2007)

Maybe because it was a 2-D design class and not a 3-D one? lol

My first island

Ruggi (Oct 6, 2005)

Okay, this is the first even remotely saveworthy thing I've created here... still struggling with those tools!!

very, very good job Ruggi! I love drawing little people. I haven't done so here, only on www.youdraw.com my name there is Missdj also. If you ever get bored, check out my gallery. It's nice, I guess, but many on that site are incredible!!

Ruggi (Oct 11, 2005)

Nice site there, Miss Dj... looks like your draws are even more diverse than mine!

Krissebaby (Apr 29, 2007)

Now where have I seen this before? :P Excellent...

Ruggi (Apr 30, 2007)

Don't know... in the Prado museum maybe? ;o)
