Update 8/15/07: Reworked bits and pieces... added more ambiance.
An experiment in a bottom-up style of painting; a heavily stylized portrait of one of the most amazing people I have ever met. Painted originally as a get well present because I felt powerless in helping him. I'm not quite happy with how stylized the face is, but I like the overall look.
does flattery chase away laryngitis? Beacuse if it does, you may have discovered the cure. I hope he likes it--i think it captures a side of him that he'd be pleased to have on display. The colors are very rich despite the lowish value, and while the textures aren't right-on, they have enough definition that they don't melt into the over-all texture of the piece, which is very painterly. The exaggerated/stylistic anatomy works perfectly, though you could take it even farther--maybe try that in your next "portrait"?

Thanksssssssss , this picture was originally entitled "Smexy Jacket" because I was proud of the shininess Good thing I'm not quite as good at pants or else he'd be wearing smexy vinyl pants, too, and I think he would smack me for that!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community.

We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
