"...are familiar faces,
Worn out places, worn out faces,
Bright and early for the daily races,
Going no where, going no where.

Their tears are filling up their glasses,
No expression, no expression,
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow,
No tomorrow, no tomorrow.

And I find I kind of funny, I find it kind of sad,
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had,
I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take,
When people run in circles its a very, very mad world,
Mad world..."

This was a test, I want to start trying a looser, more painterly approach to my work. Did no line art for this one, like I normally would, just blocking in shapes and refining. It's mostly referenced from a Chrysalis still. Pulled it off in roughly 5 hours, hope you like it.

Wow. I thought it was a photo just then. It's very close to perfection on the photorealism scale in my opinion. Even though you mention being looser with your brush strokes, it captures the light and ambience. this gives it both a stylised look and realism at the same time.

What happens in life, happens so stop worrying so much. You do what you can and deal with the rest of it because you can't control everything.

i hope she exists in real life...
AMAZING work, specially the depth created in her skin, the color is almost surreal, inspiring.
