This is a remake of an old drawing I made here- link

in one of my classes I once made a short flash dream sequence with him as the hero defeating nightmares as the dreamer obtains inner peace

I remember this one, why would you think you'd need to improve it? I like this but I'm with Anna, the old one far exceeds this one.

We come from the land of the ice and snow,
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods
Will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying:
Valhalla, I am coming!
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green,
Can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war.
We are your overlords.
On we sweep with threshing oar,
Our only goal will be the western shore.
So now youd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing.

I think you've always known that this particular "look" in a guy is one that I've always been attracted to, but I'm not sure you know that in the Society for Creative Anachronism I have a Norse persona. A lot of people don't realize that the Vikings were actually very clean people. They were also very good farmers and traders as well as excellent artisans. The information now available out there about them is fascinating as hell. I love the pic, Dan. Makes me think of a Norsemen just returning from a long voyage...he's tired, and dirty and happy to be home. Yep, I'd do him.

Axil62 (Jan 15, 2007)

I might have a beer with the guy, but I wouldn't do him.

deathking (Jan 12, 2007)

It makes me laugh. Its like Family Guy's Stewie only a girl and not bent on destroying her mother, hopefully.

enjoydotcom (edited Jan 12, 2007)

Thank you. I don't know Family Guy... gonna look it up on imdb.com, Glad it makes you laugh however.

edit : Don't think she looks a lot like that Stewie guy.. I have a shy guy in my deviant gallery who looks more like him: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/42879748/?qo=57&q=by%3Aenjoydotcom&qh=sort%3Atime+-in%3Ascraps

Nice structure, Klox ;) :-D.

You know, I wonder if the "lighting" comments turn up so frequently because that's the thing that jumps out most strongly at people - maybe because it is something that lots of people have trouble getting to look right? Just a thought - I'm only a tyro dabbler on this site and in art in general, so that might be way off base :P~. Anyway, I love your stuff!

sweet_insanity (Jan 13, 2007)

i always like your use of color, and how you can see the "strokes" of the picture, it seems to flow and carries great texture.
that and the interesting twisted features XD

davincipoppalag (Jan 13, 2007)

My turn.. I have to say some of us don't have much knowledge of art, and its terminology..so we say we like this or that about a particular picture just because that's all we know how to say. I like this too, I like the exaggerated features, and yes.. I like the light too.. You rock , Klox...ok I'm done too

marcello (Jan 14, 2007)

On the other hand klox, one could comment that lighting is the only thing that makes any picture good. if there were no light, the image would be blank. a lot of our understanding of shape, form, and texture is based on how light reflects off things. of course, if one were to make an image represent form, shape and texture without light (ie, just abstracting the physical feeling somehow), that would be a whole other animal (arguably modern/abstract art attempts to do this, though maybe not with the same intent).

I think people like the fact that you tend to use more than one light source or have very little ambient light, giving your pictures a more dramatic feeling. Something that I think more people should try doing (self included).

i can imagine the wind blowing through the wires and making them hum as the birds prepare to sleep...

Hey grandpa! ...still alive?

Dr.Snoopy (Jan 12, 2007)

OK I managed to find some time.
I decided to paint something old with the same amount of time, or less, to show how much my skill has changed. (not following the idea of this contest too well, I think)
With this pressure I was painting faster than normally...fun fun.

Well you came a long way, very improved. Lucky you knew your Grandfather, I never knew any of mine. He'd be happy if he saw this.

lori (Jan 12, 2007)

wow, big difference, very well done

davincipoppalag (Jan 12, 2007)

Definitely better..no question about it.

cmb (Jan 12, 2007)

yes- the original was like an oil pastel sketch, this is such a lovely drawing.

Thinking again....

cmb (Jan 12, 2007)

I hope this is better than the first one I did- though my eyesight is getting worse....more difficult to see details...

Beautiful colors... looks like it could have been done with oil pastels. When I first viewed this, I was overwhelmed and pleased by the wonderful palette, but then my eye did go to his upper lip. I couldn't figure out what was going on there until I read the previous comments. After I knew, I could see what you had done. I think maybe if you put just a tiny bit of darker contrast around the edge of the tongue, or vary the shades of lip and tongue more, (I'd just play with it a little bit more if I were you) it would probably define that he is licking his upper lip.

Beautiful painting, Christine. :)

cmb (Jan 12, 2007)

thanks both..! yes DBA I might well have another go at that...although its very close to the original photo...
