More Artz (WIP)!

[qui_quae_quod]

So, this one is entirely kingpig's fault.  She posted some pictures of Trent Reznor, and with my recent PhotoDraw experimentation craze, I decided to play with one.  I'm calling it a 'work in progress' because I'd like to do some additional work and improve things as I practice and (hopefully) improve my skill at digital painting.



(Link to full size here) 

I painted in the wand and mask.  I had a difficult time painting in the mask - I'm still not sure I have the perspective correct.  It doesn't look scary enough my art, so I'd like to make it scarier.  The mask was based on the ones that dixiebell12  made for the DE's at Portus.  They look a lot more Death Eaterish and scary in RL.  :)  I also painted in the robes and enlarged his nose.


Here's the original photo:


 

Thanks for posting such inspiring pictures kingpig!  I'm going to start playing with the other one...if I can do it without drooling all over my keyboard.

That mask looks like teh really nice ones dixiebell12 had for DEs at Portus. Very nice art!

Yes! I remember those masks and they were exactly what I had in mind when I did this! I didn't know anyone, so I wasn't sure who made them (and I was too shy to talk to anyone). I'll add that into my post. They look scarier in RL than they do in the art, that's for sure. :)

You didn't need to be shy. Hugs. We are all friends in the ship. =)

Go death eaters and angsty Snape!

Thanks. :) I'll be at Azkatraz and plan to be less shy. Or, I'll attempt to be less shy anyway.

Oh, this is very nice. I adore TR as Snape, I must confess. *shivers* I can feel his despair.

Ooo...pretty icon. *pets it*

Thanks! I thought that the pose was just right to portray how torn I think he probably felt as a young Death Eater. His body language speaks volumes.

I love this one! I wish you had a Photoshop CS program, you'd take to it like a duck does to water! It's hard to believe that's your 3rd pic *G* You're doing amazing!

hugs,

Thank you! :) *hugs back*

Yes - I really want PS. I'm saving up the funds...hopefully I'll get it soon!

Gorgeous. Not scary, but sad. He makes my heart hurt.

[qui-quae-quod.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Yes, it's definitely sad. I thought the pose spoke plainly of inner conflict and anxiety.
