What a beautiful lady! Damn Gigandas, It's just like the ref, but in black n white. Duration 1 day 5 hours! My god! I would never have the patience for that! Yeah I'd say this is Showcase, but then who am I?

I suppose it's finished...arrr. Spent more time on it than expected, and it's larger than I expected. I'm freaking tired of realism.(reference used, duh)

Amazing. It's got a real intimate feel to it, like shes about to talk to you or something. great great :D

wonderful draw! The skin tones are so great, as well as the texture..especially being b/w. Love to look at it..the eyes are captivating.

Well, since I pretty much lost my color palette and as Zack has mentioned, will probably never get back around to finishing, I'm just gonna submit this as finished.I'd rather have it deleted, but if it takes up space either way, might as well submit it.Anyway, hope some of you can still enjoy it.....so enjoy :P.
Gigandas (Apr 13, 2005)
lol, that's cause it is :). Just had to give it a title.

showcase please.

Very beautiful. The colours are so lovely and her expression is compelling--I get a sense of worry or indecision. The only thing I might suggest working on is the dark shadow above her eyelid--if you could soften the edge of that to give the impression of a smoother increase in the roundness of the bone structure just below the eyebrow.

Comes a time when you look back. I remember times before I discovered this site and many many more before it, before the internet at all, and my life had more quality. I spent my time persuing other intrests but I had balance. It seems to me that this has become an addiction, make no mistake, every bit of an addiction as drugs or alcohole ever were. I have a compulsive personality and when I find something I like, I tend to become obsessed and it consumes my thoughts and time. My family, my self image, my quality of life have all suffered as a result. I know how much I disliked it whenever someone would write a note and say goodbye and I swore I would never do that, that if it ever came my time to go I would simply go. And of course there is always the risk of making a fool of yourself by doing this and then comming back. We'll see. A fond farewell to you Marcello, and everyone with whom I've come to know or interact with. Wish me luck.Dan

This fills me with great sadness, but I think I understand it. Your reasons for doing it are just one of the many reasons I have always admired you not just as an artist, but as a man of great character. I hope there will come a time (soon) when you find it comfortable to be here to share your beautiful expressions of art with us. I, for one, am willing to wait patiently to see you here again.
stuartlittle64 (Aug 5, 2005)
I, too, was one who came to your site every day just to see your wonderful art. I loved the diversity, the willingness to try so many types of expression, and always the greatness (and sometime silliness) of your thoughts which accompanied the art. You think deeply, love deeply, and I know you will continue making hard decisions based on your tenacity to endure and improve. You've been there, and you're going on. Bless you on the journey. Your life has made a difference to me. May I give you a standing ovation?

It's so effective to leave the hair and dress less detailed. One of my favourite painting styles--a mixture of impressionism and realism. When it works, as this does, I think there is no painting style more beautiful. Looking at these purples and orange/golds together is a sensory treat.

in Victoria, Texasphoto reference used I have been looking at windmills all my life, but I never realized till painting this how interesting the design really is... it's simplistic, but complicated in a way - really a cool thing. Too bad they are slowly disappearing. (I never would have had the patience to do this in the old Lascaux, the line tool working well makes alot of things possible now) |

Thanks everybody!Frootcake: I could try out shi. I'll do my next painting in that. I'm a children's book illustrator, and my agency needed a painting of a 5 yr. old girl, shoulders up for an ad. And I procrastinated too much and the deadline was yesterday! I figured I could do a quick painting here. So, I needed it to shrink down to 300dpi for print (that's why its so huge). All your comments are reassuring, because I was afraid this wouldnt cut it.... looking at it now I can see that the hair kinda sucks, but oh well.

Great style, and cute subject.
