I at first thought it was a pc. of meat, but then realized it is a grapefruit and done very well. Love the way you've done the skin on it. Your coloring is excellent, lovely work.

hehe, on one hand its awesome how realistic you have managed to make the grapefruit, but on the other hand it makes me sick how the glistening pieces of the fruit look... urgh
..anyways, two thumbs up for the awesome display of skill

Shell Shock

DeadlyBlondeArcher (May 24, 2004)

from an old b&w photo from which the caption reads: A marine covered with dirt, grime and coral dust boards a coast guard assault transport in February of 1944 after two days and nights of fighting on Eniwetok in the Marshall Islands.

More than anything else, I wanted to capture his expression... that "thousand mile stare". Think I got it.

I saw what you wrote about the new book and I went to look at your gallery. For what it's worth, I think the book will be lacking by missing you. Your work is fabulous.

Very pretty so far

wow, I love the way you made her skin and hair. did you use textures?
-Only thing that's weird is her left eyelid..

Cameo (Dec 8, 2008)

I think you did a good job! Shults, it depends on weather you are refering to her left or your left. As I am looking at it her left eye looks fine. The eye on the right is the one that looks weird. There is no eyelid and it's larger than the other eye. But basically it was very well drawn. ;o)

Suntan (Dec 8, 2008)

She's lovely. You did a great job.

Nice likeness broski.

I saw the whole series of him by DeBord, not bad. Never heard of her but she does nice work.

Axil62 (Dec 9, 2008)

Thanks. I just found her by surfing and then I emailed her and asked if I could use her stuff. She's really cool.

I can see some illustrative qualities in this painting, there seems to be an emphasis on brilliance of color, which a certainly a hallmark of Rockwell's style. Coloring black and white photos is a fun process, I particularly enjoy it myself. Rockwell painted from b/w photos through a good portion of his career, ones that he painstakingly composed himself using neighbors and friends as subjects. The composition in this painting certainly works and fits the subject matter, this was a good photo to paint. The two figures are looking in nearly opposite directions which really opens up the painting. Good work and thanks again for entering.

Very nice drawing QT it must 've been a true challenge turning a b/w photo into a color painting. I think it is a big pity we were the only two who tried our hand at this contest.
