Artist's Comments
... aka Sharon Milne's Davide (anyone get the joke?)
Well well well... ladies (and guys if you are that way inclined) form a line behind me! This is my portrait of the ever so talented and ever so drop dead gorgeous Davide aka ~originalASKER aka "My Favourite Italian" as I call him. He is the only guy I would ever say "don't shave off the beard!" - cos let's just face it, beards are not that attractive, but to me, Davide's is perfect - mmmmmm I have had his photos on my PC for about a month now and I kept on meaning to start this, but always found shadows a bit of a mission, as this one has proved! 10 hours alone on the skin shading. Again I have been practicing with gradients, all but 5 base layers are actually gradients! But that is not the hook with this one, the main challenge with this is that only 5 colours (bar the ourside colour of the frame!) have went into making it - and of course this means a lot of varying opacities and gradients needed to blend the colours... but it has been a very good challenge. Anyway, music has been inspiring a lot of the titles of my portraits recently... this one is from the classic 80s song "Boys of Summer" by Don Henley. Classic song. Thank you Davide for being a perfect model  --------------------------------------------------------- [Edit] Wow thanks `turn2002 for suggesting for the DD <3 totally unexpected - thanks guys  I just wanna say that this _isn't_ vector art... never claimed it to be... it's vexel art... which is based on raster layers and not vector layers. But wow - thank you everyone who has been really sweet to fav it and comment it - it's much appreciated Daily DeviationGiven 2005-10-23Boys of Summer... by =ChewedKandi Mind blowing vector art. It's all in the details. (Suggested by `turn2002 and Featured by `object2bdestroyd) |
