My friend (cor mea) takes pictures. He makes beautiful photographs.
Anyway, he spent a month in China. And he took this picture.
And so I'm replicating it.

Back to Shi-Painter.
I love his face.
This is what it looks like when I actually try.

Good job on this, I like it alot, I also listen to this band once in a while, they have some good stuff.

His expression is pretty awesome.
davincipoppalag (Sep 14, 2007)
Cool looking sneer you made!
shalalaheartattack (Sep 15, 2007)
Thanks guys. (I love getting comments from talented people. They thrill me.)

Sometimes I stand in front of the mirror and try to make that face, and it's not half so easy as Mr. Avary makes it seem. I'd like to send him a letter asking him to reply in detail, step by step, exactly how he does it, because I think it would come in handy from time to time. But I digress.

I'm pretty tired of working on this.
I don't really listen to this band.
I wanted to use Lascaux for a change.
It's so ugly it almost works.

There is something very compelling about the technique you used, this definitely looks like an oil painting, I like it very much! Jillj

I think it looks pretty good but something dowsnt seem right about the shoulder
shalalaheartattack (Aug 30, 2007)
There's a few things that don't seem quite right, haha. But the shoulder, now that you mention it, is quite off.

But thank you. :) Maybe I'll go back and fuss with it.

So I got a new mouse. It's wireless, so it doesn't shit out every time I try to move it. (There was a break in the wire on my old one, which is probably due to my own abuse.) Basically, I'm thrilled.

A reference used loosely for the black eye. I think there's something a little off, but I can't decide what it is.

I think it's the nose. there seems to be something off about it, but the rest is cool.

Thanks, Michelle. I had a feeling it was the nose, too.

I have a friend. Her name is Kay. She's terribly wonderful, and I feel it necessary to inform her of such often.

Specialty Boards/Contest!

I hope this qualifies.

Reference:

Jan Saudek is one of my favourite photographers. His pictures are unapologetic, to say the least, and they hit you like a punch to the face. When I saw this contest I immediately thought of him.

If you watch the animation you'll see I had a hell of a time with the face, and I wish I could have cropped the canvas after finishing the piece. (That is obviously not going to happen.)
I'm not great with backgrounds, but I gave it a shot.
Also, I hope my lack of experience in the nude department isn't too terribly apparent.

Phew.

I've been swapping secrets with John Joseph all night. We've adopted each other.
I've decided to try harder.

My hands are shaking like crazy, yo. (Familial tremor is a bitch.)

The colours are yummy. This is really cool.
shalalaheartattack (edited Jul 19, 2007)
Ooooh, it's a mystery! Haha.
John Joseph is a good friend of mine. (Not the comedian.)

Thank you guys.

(P.S. - That face belongs to me! XD)
Sweetcell (Jul 19, 2007)
This is so good, loving the brush strokes you used in this to give her face structure. And what an expression. Never thought these colors could work so well together.
shalalaheartattack (Jul 19, 2007)
Thanks, Sweetcell/Barbara. :)

So the other night I was watching the TV and there's this promo for a new mini series called "The Company". And I'm thinking it looks like something I'd want to see, but then all of a sudden I see a flash of Tom Hollander. So I immediately run to my computer to go to imdb and look up this new mini series to confirm whether or not I was hallucinating. AND THERE HE WAS. IN ALL HIS SUITED GLORY. And I was thrilled.

I really do not like elaborate backgrounds. (Unless, of course, they're someone else's.)

Oh my god, someone check his vital signs, stat. He's blue.

Stand back, I'll loosen his tie and give him CPR. :)
shalalaheartattack (Jul 18, 2007)
And then I'll unbutton his shirt, and...oh. ;D
